detailed information in the offering circular.
(b) Immediately following the Table of Contents required by Item 2 or the Summary, there must be set forth
under an appropriate caption, a carefully organized series of short, concise paragraphs, summarizing the most
significant factors that make the offering speculative or substantially risky. Issuers should avoid generalized
statements and include only factors that are specific to the issuer.
Item 4.
Dilution
Where there is a material disparity between the public offering price and the effective cash cost to offi cers, di-
rectors, promoters and affiliated persons for shares acquired by them in a transaction during the past year, or that
they have a right to acquire, there must be included a comparison of the public contribution under the proposed
public offering and the average effective cash contribution of such persons.
Item 5.
Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders
(a) If the securities are to be offered through underwriters, give the names of the principal underwriters, and
state the respective amounts underwritten. Identify each such underwriter having a material relationship to the
issuer and state the nature of the relationship. State briefly the nature of the underwriters’ obligation to take the
securities.
Instructions to Item 5(a):
1. All that is required as to the nature of the underwriters' obligation is whether the underwriters are or
will be committed to take and to pay for all of the securities if any are taken, or whether it is merely an agency
or the type of best efforts arrangement under which the underwriters are required to take and to pay for only
such securities as they may sell to the public. Conditions precedent to the underwriters' taking the securities,
including market outs, need not be described except in the case of an agency or best efforts arrangement.
2. It is not necessary to disclose each member of a selling group. Disclosure may be limited to those
underwriters who are in privity of contract with the issuer with respect to the offering.
(b) State briefly the discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to dealers, including all cash, securities,
contracts or other consideration to be received by any dealer in connection with the sale of the securities.
(c) Outline briefly the plan of distribution of any securities being issued that are to be offered through the selling
efforts of brokers or dealers or otherwise than through underwriters.
(d) If any of the securities are to be offered for the account of securityholders, identify each selling securityhold-
er, state the amount owned by the securityholder prior to the offering, the amount offered for his or her account
and the amount to be owned after the offering. Provide such disclosure in a tabular format. At the bottom of
the table, provide the total number of securities being offered for the account of all securityholders and describe
what percent of the pre-offering outstanding securities of such class the offering represents.
Instruction to Item 5(d):
The term “securityholder” in this paragraph refers to beneficial holders, not nominee holders or other
such holders of record. If the selling securityholder is an entity, disclosure of the persons who have sole or
shared voting or investment power must be included.
