DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

  our ability to effectively react to other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our SEC filings, such as fluctuation of quarterly financial results, reliance on third party consultants, litigation or other proceedings and stock price volatility; and

 

  other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘predicts,’’ ‘‘potential,’’ or ‘‘continue’’ or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.

OUR BUSINESS

 

This is only a summary and may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read both this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information”.

 

About Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc.

 

Overview

 

We provide information technology services and solutions including a range of technology platforms focusing on big data, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, social listening, and consumer-centric technology. More recently, to provide greater value to our stockholders, we have sought to expand our business primarily through acquisitions that leverage our capabilities and expertise.

 

On November 9, 2016, we acquired Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone”), a state-of-the-art mapping and spatial analysis company, and on December 11, 2017 we acquired a majority interest in MoviePass, the nation’s premier movie theater subscription service.

 

MoviePass

 

MoviePass was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 and is a movie theater subscription service that allows members to see a new movie every day in theaters nationwide for a monthly price of $9.95. Once they sign up for the MoviePass service online, subscribers are prompted to download the MoviePass application on their smart phones and are then mailed a MoviePass debit card. The MoviePass application shows subscribers the show times of all the movies that are currently showing at their local movie theaters. Once they have received their MoviePass debit card, subscribers can use the debit card to purchase up to one movie ticket per day at any of the movie theaters listed in the MoviePass application without paying any additional costs. During the four months after MoviePass’ announcement of its $9.95 monthly subscription plan in August 2017, MoviePass grew to over 1,000,000 total subscribers including those on either its monthly or annual plans. This represents strong growth when compared to other subscription-based companies, such as Spotify, Hulu, ClassPass and Netflix, which achieved 1,000,000 subscribers in over 5, 10, 17 and 39 months, respectively, estimated based on information available publicly from various news and other sources. MoviePass surpassed 1,500,000 subscribers in January 2018.

 

MoviePass is led by Mitch Lowe, its Chief Executive Officer, Stacy Spikes, its co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, Sanjay Puri, its Chief Strategy Officer, and Chris Kelly, its Chairman. The Company intends to strengthen our management team and combine its data and artificial intelligence technology with MoviePass’ technology. With our big data and artificial intelligence platforms and other technologies that we own, we believe we will be able to bring a significant technological advantage to MoviePass.

 

MoviePass Market Opportunity

 

Movie going is embedded in American society and enjoyed by people of all races, ages and socio-economic levels. As noted below, the 2016 Theatrical Market Statistics Report issued by the Motion Picture Association of America reports an annual average of 246 million movie goers in North America spending $11.4 billion on tickets annually. MoviePass intends to encourage increased attendance at movie theaters with the subscription model by targeting the casual movie goer (those who attend less than once a month) who represent 85% of the total movie going market. MoviePass conducted a study in two test markets using data on movie goers before subscribing to MoviePass and data for movie goers in the first year after having MoviePass. The results from the study demonstrate that MoviePass drove a 100% and 123% lift in movie attendance in each of these markets.

MoviePass Competition

 

The market for filmed entertainment ticketing services is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. MoviePass’ potential competitors include Atom Tickets, MovieTickets.com, Fandango, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s AMC Stubs program, Regal Entertainment Group’s Regal Crown Club and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s Movie Club, as well as other potential exhibitors offering their own subscription services or loyalty programs.

 

AMC Stubs is a loyalty program offered by AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. with approximately 10.8 million household members. Movie goers can join the loyalty program as either a basic member for free or a premiere member for $15. The basic membership offers free popcorn refills, up to a $2 discount on tickets on Tuesdays, $5 rewards for every 5,000 points (points are earned at a rate of 20 points for every $1 spent), waived online ticket fees and free popcorn on the member’s birthday. Premiere members receive a $5 discount on tickets on Tuesdays, earn 100 points for every $1 spent and all the other benefits that come with the basic membership.

 

Regal Entertainment Group also offers a loyalty program with approximately 14 million active members called the Regal Crown Club. The program only has one membership option and is free to join. Regal Crown Club members earn credits for every $1 they spend on movie tickets and at concession stands. Points can be redeemed for rewards via the use of a physical card or a virtual card with Regal’s mobile app. Rewards include free concession items, merchandise, movie tickets and more.

 

On December 5, 2017, Cinemark Holdings Inc. launched Movie Club. Movie Club is a monthly subscription plan that allows subscribers to buy one movie ticket a month for a discounted price of $8.99. Members of Movie Club can roll over unused tickets from month to month and receive a 20% discount on items bought at concession stands. Movie Club membership is only valid at Cinemark theaters.

 

Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than MoviePass does. Some of these competitors have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing and website and systems development than MoviePass does. In addition, MoviePass’ competitors may form or extend strategic alliances with studios, exhibitors and distributors that could affect adversely MoviePass’ ability to compete on favorable terms.

 

  5  

 

MoviePass Intellectual Property

 

MoviePass uses a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements to protect its proprietary intellectual property. MoviePass has a registered trademark for the MoviePass name. MoviePass owns U.S. Patent Nos. 8,484,133, 8,612,235, and 9,135,578. MoviePass has filed applications for additional trademarks and patents. MoviePass’ outstanding trademark and patent applications may not be allowed. Competitors may challenge successfully the validity and scope of MoviePass’ patents and trademark(s). MoviePass’ trademark(s), trademark applications, patents, and patent applications may not provide MoviePass with a competitive advantage. To date, MoviePass has relied primarily on proprietary processes and know-how to protect its intellectual property related to its Web site, mobile application and fulfillment processes.

 

From time to time, MoviePass may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. MoviePass believes that its service offering does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. However, it cannot assure you that MoviePass will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

 

MoviePass/Fandor/Costco Subscription Offer

 

On December 12, 2017, MoviePass and Fandor, the streaming service with the largest collection of independent films, documentaries, international features and shorts; announced that both companies have partnered with Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”) to offer a one-year subscription plan for a flat fee of $89.99. The subscription plan for both services was made available exclusively to Costco members for a limited time and covers a year of membership for both MoviePass and Fandor. The subscription plan was recently extended through February 2018.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please see the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Additional risk factors may be included in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of our securities to decline.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unless we state otherwise in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by us under this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement for general corporate purposes of Helios and its subsidiaries and/or to support MoviePass operations. These purposes may include capital expenditures and additions to working capital. When a particular series of securities is offered, the prospectus supplement relating to that series will set forth our intended use for the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

 

DILUTION

 

We will set forth in a prospectus supplement the following information regarding any material dilution of the equity interests of investors purchasing securities sold by the Company in an offering under this prospectus:

 

  the net tangible book value per share of our equity securities before and after the offering;

 

  the amount of the increase in such net tangible book value per share attributable to the cash payments made by purchases in the offering; and

 

  the amount of the immediate dilution from the public offering price which will be absorbed by such purchasers.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE OFFERED

 

Description of Common Stock

 

The following summary of the rights of our common stock is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which are included as exhibits to our registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive pro rata our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payments of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus will also be fully paid and non-assessable.

We currently have no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

Subject to the limitations prescribed in our certificate of incorporation and under Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of directors, from time to time by resolution and without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and other rights of the shares and to fix the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.

 

Description of Warrants

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our common stock or preferred stock, which we refer to in this prospectus as “equity warrants”. As explained below, each equity warrant will entitle its holder to purchase our equity securities at an exercise price set forth in, or to be determined as set forth in, the related prospectus supplement. Equity warrants may be issued separately or together with equity securities. The equity warrants are to be issued under equity warrant agreements.

 

The particular terms of each issue of equity warrants and the equity warrant agreement relating to the equity warrants will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, as applicable:

 

  the title of the equity warrants;

 

  the initial offering price;

 

  the aggregate number of equity warrants and the aggregate number of shares of the equity security purchasable upon exercise of the equity warrants;

 

  if applicable, the designation and terms of the equity securities with which the equity warrants are issued, and the number of equity warrants issued with each equity security;

 

  the date on which the right to exercise the equity warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;

 

  if applicable, the minimum or maximum number of the equity warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

 

  8

  redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the equity warrants;

 

  any additional terms of the equity warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the equity warrants; and

 

  the exercise price.

 

Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled, solely by virtue of being holders, to vote, to receive dividends, to receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting or written consent of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as a holder of the equity securities purchasable upon exercise of the equity warrants.

 

Description of Units

 

We may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. A prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the units offered under that prospectus supplement, and any special considerations applicable to investing in those units. You must look at the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable unit agreement for a full understanding of the specific terms of any units. We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any units that we may offer in the future under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and incorporated documents. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

General

 

We may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, subscription rights or any combination thereof. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement and any incorporated documents the terms of the series of units, including the following:

 

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

any unit agreement under which the units will be issued; and

 

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock,” “Description of Preferred Stock,” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock, or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

 

  9  

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

 

Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

 

Title

 

We, the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

 

Description of Subscription Rights

 

We may issue subscription rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, or other securities. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of subscription rights for which this prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

 

the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

 

the exercise price payable for each share of common stock, preferred stock, or other securities upon the exercise of the subscription rights;

any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights;

 

the date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date on which the subscription rights shall expire;

 

the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; and

 

if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Charter Documents

 

The following is a summary of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Our certificate of incorporation states that we expressly elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Our charter documents include provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a stockholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders.  These provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.

 

Effects of authorized but unissued common stock and blank check preferred stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common stock and undesignated preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

In addition, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance also may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of those holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

Cumulative Voting.   Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors which would allow holders of less than a majority of the stock to elect some directors.

 

Vacancies.  Section 223 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our bylaws provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum.

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders.   A special meeting of stockholders may be called by our board of directors or the Chairman of our board of directors and at the request in writing of holders of record of a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. The requirement that a majority of our outstanding capital stock is required to call a special meeting means that small stockholders will not have the power to call a special meeting to, for example, elect new directors.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

 

  to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

 

  directly to one or more other purchasers;

 

  through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  11  

 

  through agents on a best-efforts basis;

 

  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 the Nasdaq Capital Market or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; or

 

  otherwise through any other method permitted by applicable law or a combination of any of the above methods of sale.

 

In addition, we may enter into option, share lending or other types of transactions that require us to deliver shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common stock under this prospectus. We may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we may:

 

  enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares of common stock by underwriters, brokers or dealers;

 

  sell shares of common stock short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;

 

  enter into option or other types of transactions that require the delivery of shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common stock under this prospectus; or

 

  loan or pledge the shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares.

 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us 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, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we 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.

 

Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. Any prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:

 

  the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the securities;

 

  any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

 

  any public offering or purchase price and any discounts or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;

 

  any commissions allowed or paid to agents;

 

  12  

 

  any other offering expenses;

 

  any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed;

 

  the method of distribution of the securities;

 

  the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with the underwriters, brokers or dealers; and

 

  any other information we think is important.

 

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time by us in one or more transactions:

 

  at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

  at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

  at prices related to such prevailing market prices;

 

  at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

 

  at negotiated prices.

 

Such sales may be effected:

 

  in transactions on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

  in transactions in the over-the-counter market;

 

  in block transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

 

  through the writing of options; or

 

  through other types of transactions.

 

The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable to such agent will be set forth in, the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.

 

  13  

 

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed for certain expenses.

 

Subject to any restrictions relating to debt securities in bearer form, any securities initially sold outside the United States may be resold in the United States through underwriters, dealers or otherwise.

 

Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock during and after this offering, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in the common stock for their own accounts by selling more common stock than have been sold to them by us. The underwriters may elect to cover any such short position by purchasing common stock in the open market or by exercising the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing common stock in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if common stock previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of the common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq Capital Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

We are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock offered in this prospectus by any person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of us.

 

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

 

Any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any securities such entity sells pursuant to this prospectus.

 

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities 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.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 14.      Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

 

The following statement sets forth the expenses and costs expected to be incurred by Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. in connection with the distribution of its securities being registered in this registration statement. 

 

  SEC registration fee   $ 49,800.00  
  Transfer agent’s fees and expenses   $   (1)
  Legal fees and expenses   $   (1)
  Accounting fees and expenses   $   (1)
  Miscellaneous fees and expenses   $   (1)
           
  Total   $   (1)

 

(1) These fees will be dependent on the type of securities offered and the number of offerings, and, therefore, cannot be estimated at this time. In accordance with Rule 430B, additional information regarding estimated fees and expenses will be provided at the time information as to an offering is included in a prospectus supplement.

 

Item 15.      Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

 

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as we are, may 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 (other than a derivative action 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, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), 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 such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Our certificate of incorporation states that this right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of the certificate of incorporation. The right of indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent and will inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person. The indemnification provided by the certification of incorporation will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided now or in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted of the bylaws, by any agreement, by vote of stockholders, by resolution of disinterested directors, by provision of law, or otherwise.

 

  II- 1  

 

We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions. Furthermore, we entered into indemnification agreements with our former officers and directors and we intend to enter into these agreements with our current officers and directors. These agreements require us to indemnify the signatories thereto (the “Indemnified Party”) from any expenses, as defined in the agreement, incurred as a result of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or proceeding, and any appeal thereof, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and/or any inquiry or investigation, in which the Indemnified Party may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company. The indemnification agreements also permit us to advance expenses to an Indemnified Party, subject to an undertaking from the Indemnified Party that he or she will repay the expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification.

 

Article Tenth of our certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, none of our directors shall be liable to us or to any of our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Article Tenth does not eliminate the liability of the director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The term “damages” shall, to the extent permitted by law, include without limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement, penalty, punitive damages, excise, or other tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense of any nature (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements). Each person who serves as our director shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance on the provisions of Article Tenth, and neither the amendment or repeal of this provision in the certificate of incorporation, nor the adoption of any provision of the certificate of incorporation inconsistent with Article Tenth, shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or the Company for, arising out of, based upon, or in connection with any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of an inconsistent provision. The provisions of this Article Tenth are cumulative and are in addition to, and independent of, any and all other limitations of the liabilities of our directors, whether such limitations or eliminations arise under or are created by any law, rule, regulations, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Item 17.  Undertakings.

 

  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (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;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however  , that:

 

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section 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 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (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 of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser:

 

  (A) 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

 

  (B) 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 of 1933, as amended 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; or

 

  II- 4  

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     
  (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.
