## Wolfspeed, Inc.
**11,362,132 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK** 

This prospectus relates to the potential offer and sale, from time to time, by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus (the "selling stockholders") of up to 11,362,132 shares of common stock, par value $0.00125 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Wolfspeed, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("us," "our, and "we"), which the selling stockholders may acquire upon conversion of certain of the 2.5% Convertible Second-Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the "New 2L Non-Renesas Convertible Notes") held by the selling stockholders.

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the Common Stock registered hereby publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these shares, including with regard to compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws. The timing and amount of any sale are within the sole discretion of the selling stockholders. Our registration of the Common Stock covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell, as applicable, any of the Common Stock. We provide more information in the section titled "Plan of Distribution."

Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "WOLF." On December 12, 2025, the closing sale price of our Common Stock was $18.56 per share.

**Investing in shares of our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties that are described in the "[Risk Factors](#toc59051_5)" section beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.** 

***Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.***

**EXPLANATORY NOTE** 

On June 30, 2025, Wolfspeed, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wolfspeed Texas LLC (together with the Company, "Wolfspeed"), filed voluntary petitions commencing cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") to implement a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered under the caption *In re Wolfspeed, Inc., et al*. A summary of the material terms of the Plan and related matters is contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2025. On September 8, 2025, the Court entered the Order (I) Approving the Disclosure Statement, (II) Confirming the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Wolfspeed, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliate, and (III) Approving Entry into the Backstop Agreement [Docket No. 285], which, among other things, confirmed the Plan. On September 29, 2025 (the "Plan Effective Date"), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective. Wolfspeed emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases on September 29, 2025.

In connection with the confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and emergence from bankruptcy, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 29, 2025 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), that requires the Company to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement for the offer and resale, from time to time, of the common stock of the Company, or the common stock of the Company underlying certain securities, held by certain holders that received such common stock or securities at emergence.

On November 13, 2025, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflecting the Company's Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2025 and Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 28, 2025 and three months ended September 28, 2025 as if the Plan Effective Date and fresh start accounting had occurred as of an earlier date. This Current Report Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

**RISK FACTORS** 

Investment in our Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. Before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and 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. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. 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 seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the information included in the section titled "Forward-Looking Information" or under similar headings included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Voting power represents the combined voting power of shares of Common Stock owned beneficially by such person.

**SELLING STOCKHOLDERS** 

This prospectus relates to the possible offer and resale, from time to time, by the selling stockholders included in the table below of up to 11,362,132 shares of our Common Stock, including shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the New 2L Non-Renesas Convertible Notes held by the selling stockholders (the "Shares"), subject to any appropriate adjustment as a result of any subdivision, split, combination or other reclassification of our Common Stock. We are registering the Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Shares owned by them but make no representation that any of the Shares will be offered for sale.

The information provided below with respect to the selling stockholders has been furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders and is current as of November 12, 2025. We have not sought to verify such information.

To our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders has, or has had within the past three years, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, except in connection with (i) the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the Plan, (iii) the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated June 22, 2025, by and between the selling stockholders and the Company, (iv) the Investor Rights and Disposition Agreement, dated September 29, 2025, by and between Renesas Electronics America Inc. and the Company, and (v) the Backstop Commitment Agreement, dated June 22, 2025, by and between the selling stockholders and the Company.

The table sets forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the names of the selling stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders prior to the sale of the
Shares covered by this prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders following the sale of the
Shares covered by this prospectus, based on the assumption that all Shares will be sold in the offering; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ownership of the selling stockholders as a percentage of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company after
this offering, based on the assumption that the selling stockholders will have converted the New 2L Non-Renesas Convertible Notes whose underlying shares are being registered hereby, and all resulting registered Shares therefrom will be sold in the
offering.

In addition, in computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person after this offering, shares of Common Stock that are not registered hereby underlying the New 2L Non-Renesas Convertible Notes that are currently convertible or convertible within 60 days of October 31, 2025 are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

All figures below are deemed to include an additional indeterminable number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable in respect of make-whole amounts that may become due on the 2L Convertible Notes that the Company settles in shares of common stock. The selling stockholders are not obligated to sell any of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus. The percent of beneficial ownership for the selling security holders is based on 25,892,446 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2025.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK** 

The following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, which have been publicly filed with the SEC, and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). See the section titled "Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference."

**General** 

The certificate of incorporation provides that the Company's capital stock consists of 450,000,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.00125 per share, of which 350,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.

**Common Stock** 

***Voting Rights***

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. The Company's stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

In addition, the affirmative vote of holders of at least 60% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding voting stock is required to take certain actions, including (a) removing any director on the Company's board of directors, (b) adopting, amending or repealing the Company's bylaws and (c) amending, altering, repealing or rescinding provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to (i) the Company's preferred stock, (ii) the Company's board of directors, (iii) meetings of the stockholders of the Company, (iv) the limitation of liability of the Company's directors and officers under the DGCL and certain other rights of indemnification and advance of expenses, (v) the choice of forum, (vi) provisions related to the applicability of the corporate opportunity doctrine and (vii) certain amendments to the certificate of incorporation.

***Dividends***

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to have equal rights of participation in any dividends that the board of directors may declare out of funds legally available.

***Liquidation***

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of debts and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

***Rights, Preferences and Privileges***

Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking-fund provisions applicable to common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future.

**Preferred Stock** 

Under the certificate of incorporation, the board of directors have the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereon, and, subject to the requisite vote of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon (without a separate vote of the holders of the preferred stock or common stock voting as a separate class), to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding.

The board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company that may otherwise benefit holders of common stock and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. The Company has no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

**Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws** 

Some provisions of Delaware law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of the Company by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or in the Company's best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for its shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with the board of directors. The Company believes that the benefits of the increased protection of its potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

***Undesignated Preferred Stock***

The ability of the board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by the board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the Company.

***Stockholder Meetings***

The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Company's board of directors, chairperson of the board of directors, chief executive officer or president.

***Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals***

The bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals to be brought before a stockholder meeting and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.

***Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent***

The certificate of incorporation eliminates the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Removal of Directors***

The certificate of incorporation provides that any member of the board of directors may be removed from office by stockholders, with or without cause, and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of the holders of at least 60% in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

***Stockholders Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting***

The certificate of incorporation does not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of preferred stock may be entitled to elect.

***Section 203 of the DGCL***

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits persons deemed to be "interested stockholders" from engaging in a "business combination" with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors.

In accordance with Section 203 of the DGCL, by operation of the Plan and the approval of the Company's board of directors, the restrictions of Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply to stockholders that would become "interested stockholders" solely by virtue of receiving shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan.

***Choice of Forum***

***Amendment of Charter Provisions***

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 60% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding voting stock is required to amend, alter, repeal or rescind provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to (i) the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Company's preferred stock, (ii) the Company's board of directors, (iii) meetings of the stockholders of the Company, (iv) the limitation of liability of the Company's directors and officers under the DGCL and certain other rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses, (v) the choice of forum, (vi) provisions related to the applicability of the corporate opportunity doctrine and (vii) the foregoing requirement for the affirmative vote of at least 60% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding voting stock to amend, alter, repeal or rescind the foregoing provisions. All other amendments to the certificate of incorporation are subject to the vote required by applicable law, except that, unless otherwise required by law, holders of common stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the certificate of incorporation relating solely to the rights, powers, preferences (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) 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 this certificate of incorporation or the DGCL.

The provisions of Delaware law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of the board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

**Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters** 

The certificate of incorporation provides that no director or officer will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as amended from time to time. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director or an officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, except for liability for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any breach of a director's or an officer's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of
the DGCL;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any transaction from which a director or an officer derived an improper personal benefit; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• with respect to officers, any action by or in the right of the Company.

As a result, neither the Company nor its stockholders have the right, through stockholders' derivative suits on the Company's behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director or an officer for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above.

The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws also provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify any officer or director of the Company against all damages, claims and liabilities arising out of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer, or served any other enterprise at the Company's request as a director or officer. Amending this provision will not reduce its indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.

**New Senior Secured Notes** 

On September 29, 2025 (the "Plan Effective Date"), Wolfspeed, Inc.

The Senior Notes bear interest, payable quarterly in arrears on March 23, June 23, September 23 and December 23 of each year, (a) for the period from the Plan Effective Date through and including June 22, 2026, at a rate of 9.875% per annum (payable in cash), plus 4.00% per annum (payable in-kind); and (b) for the period commencing on June 23, 2026 and at all times thereafter, (i) if the Interest Rate Step-Down Condition is satisfied as of June 23 of the most recent year, at a rate of 13.875% per annum (payable in cash) and (ii) if the Interest Rate Step-Down Condition is not satisfied as of June 23 of the most recent year, at a rate of 15.875% per annum (payable in cash).

The Senior Notes will mature on June 23, 2030.

The Indenture requires the Company to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes with 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain extraordinary receipts, at a price of 109.875% plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the first to occur of the following : (i) in the event the Company and/or its subsidiaries receive in excess of $200,000,000 of such extraordinary receipts from the Plan Effective Date through June 22, 2026, such offer to repurchase will be required to be in an aggregate principal amount of $175,000,000 of the Senior Notes, (ii) in the event the Company and/or its subsidiaries receive in excess of $200,000,000 of such extraordinary receipts from the Plan Effective Date through June 22, 2027, such offer to repurchase will be required to be in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000 of the Senior Notes, or (iii) if the Company and/or its Subsidiaries receive less than or equal to $200,000,000 of such extraordinary receipts from the Plan Effective Date through June 22, 2027, such offer to repurchase will be required to be in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 (such repurchase date, the "Extraordinary Receipts Trigger Date").

Further, the Company is required to repurchase the Senior Notes with 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture) of certain non-ordinary course asset sales and casualty events, subject to the ability to (so long as no default or event of default exists under the Indenture) reinvest the proceeds of casualty events involving certain core assets, at a price equal to the lesser of (a) 111.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being repurchased and (b) if such disposition or casualty event occurred (i) on or after June 23, 2026 and prior to the later of June 23, 2027 and the Extraordinary Receipts Trigger Date, 109.875% of the principal

**SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF COMMON STOCK** 

We cannot predict the effect, if any, future sales of shares of Common Stock, or the availability for future sale of shares of Common Stock, will have on the market price of shares of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Common Stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity or equity-related securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Prior to the possible offer and resale by this prospectus, we have a total of 25,892,446 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, all were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act by persons other than our "affiliates," in each case as of October 31, 2025. Under the Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that issuer. The remaining shares of our Common Stock are "restricted securities," as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and may not be sold absent registration under the Securities Act or compliance with Rule 144 thereunder or in reliance on another exemption from registration.

Prior to the possible offer and resale of the securities offered by this prospectus, we also have (i) 16,852,372 shares of Common Stock issuable upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals, (ii) 4,943,555 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant deemed outstanding for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, which may be exercised at a price of $23.95 per share subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, (iii) 15,676,555 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the New 2L Non-Renesas Convertible Notes issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2025 and are not being registered hereby, and (iv) up to 11,096,247 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the New Renesas 2L Convertible Notes subject to certain regulatory approvals. As a result of the Registration Rights Agreement, all or a portion of these shares may be eligible for future sales without restriction.

**Equity Plans** 

On November 7, 2025, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of all shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock issuable under the 2025 Management Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Common stock registered under such registration statement will be available for resale by nonaffiliates in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act and by affiliates in the public market subject to compliance with the resale provisions of Rule 144.

**Rule 144** 

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or our warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or our warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the average weekly reported trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the
filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

We are registering the shares of Common Stock issued to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of such shares of Common Stock by the holder of such shares of Common Stock from time to time after the date of this prospectus. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. The selling stockholders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all selling commissions and similar charges attributable to sales of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock covered hereby. The selling stockholders may sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus from time to time or may decide not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices, and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may dispose of their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the selling stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this
prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an over-the-counter distribution
in accordance with the rules of the NYSE;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through trading plans entered into by a selling stockholders pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis
of parameters described in such trading plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to or through underwriters or broker-dealers, who may act as principals or agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices,
at prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar
offerings through sales agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an exchange distribution and/or secondary distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in options transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• settlement of short sales made after the date of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to its members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. To the extent that such members, partners, stockholders or other

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
equityholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Common Stock pursuant to a distribution pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any selling stockholders or borrowed from any selling stockholders or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock and may use securities received from any selling stockholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. In addition, any selling stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. The selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus 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 under the Securities Act.

At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, this prospectus or an amendment or any applicable prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any dealer or agent, any discount, commission, and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission, or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
