Underwriter’s Option		The selling stockholder has granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as set forth above if the underwriter sells more than 10,000,000 shares in this offering.
Use of Proceeds		We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder.
Risk Factors		Investing in our Common Stock involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any free writing prospectus we have authorized in connection with this offering in their entirety prior to investing in our Common Stock.

Dividend policy		Following this offering, we intend to continue to pay a quarterly cash dividend on our Common Stock. On November 2, 2010, our board of directors revised the dividend rate from an annual rate equal to $0.72 per share (or a quarterly rate equal to $0.18 per share) to $0.84 per share (or a quarterly rate equal to $0.21 per share) of our Common Stock. The declaration of future dividends on our Common Stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, limitations in our debt agreements and legal requirements. See “Dividend Policy.”

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the risk factors set forth in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, before you decide to purchase shares of our Common Stock. You should also refer to the other information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment. Any adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results could result in a decline in the trading price of our Common Stock and your loss of all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile.

 

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Common Stock will continue. The securities markets have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of the securities of companies have been particularly volatile. This market volatility, as well as general economic or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of investment analysts and investors and, in response, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease significantly and prevent investors from reselling their shares of our Common Stock at or above a market price that is favorable. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were the subject of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial costs, liabilities and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

 

Future sales of our Common Stock may adversely affect the prevailing market price.

 

If a large number of shares of our Common Stock is sold in the open market, or if there is a perception that such sales will occur, the trading price of our Common Stock could decrease. In addition, the sale of the shares subject to this prospectus supplement could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2010, we had an aggregate of 172,045,131 shares of our Common Stock authorized but unissued and not reserved for specific purposes. In general, we may issue all of these shares without any action or approval by our stockholders. We may issue shares of our Common Stock in connection with acquisitions.

 

As of September 30, 2010, we had 113,437,519 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, as of November 5, 2010, approximately 63,188,843 shares were freely tradable. The remaining shares of our Common Stock were “restricted securities”, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Restricted securities may not be resold in a public distribution except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom, including the exemptions provided by Regulation S and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. We have currently registered for resale on a Form S-3 47,803,903 shares of our Common Stock held by certain of our stockholders pursuant to a registration rights agreement among us and such stockholders, of which 35,703,708 shares are held by the selling stockholder and 12,100,195 shares are held by our other stockholders.

 

We cannot predict whether substantial amounts of our Common Stock will be sold in the open market in anticipation of, or following, any divestiture by any of our existing stockholders, our directors or executive officers of their shares of our Common Stock.

 

As of September 30, 2010, there were 9,824,480 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, of which 449,068 shares were issuable upon exercise of options outstanding as of September 30, 2010. The sale of shares issued upon the exercise of stock options could further dilute your investment in our Common Stock and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

You may not receive dividends on our Common Stock.

 

Holders of our Common Stock are only entitled to receive such dividends as our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. The declaration of future dividends on our Common Stock will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, limitations in our debt agreements and legal requirements. Although we have historically declared cash dividends on our Common Stock, we are not required to do so and may reduce or eliminate our Common Stock dividend in the future. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Provisions in our corporate documents and certain agreements, as well as Delaware law, may hinder a change of control.

 

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could discourage unsolicited proposals to acquire us, even though such proposals may be beneficial to you. These provisions include:

 

 

Certain provisions of our 8.625% senior notes indenture and our senior secured credit facility may have the effect of delaying or preventing future transactions involving a “change of control.” A “change of control” would require us to make an offer to the holders of our 8.625% senior notes to repurchase all of the outstanding notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued unpaid interest to the date of the purchase. A “change of control” would also be an event of default under our senior secured credit facility.

 

The interests of Madison Dearborn Capital Partners, IV, L.P., or MDCP, may not be aligned with yours.

 

MDCP, after giving effect to this offering, will beneficially own approximately 23% of our Common Stock (approximately 21% of our Common Stock if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) and under a director nomination agreement, is entitled to designate nominees for five members of our board of directors. Accordingly, MDCP has influence on, and effectively controls, our corporate and management policies and has significant influence over the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including potential mergers or acquisitions, asset sales and other significant corporate transactions. MDCP could seek to take other actions that might be desirable to MDCP but not to other stockholders.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder.

 

The following table sets forth our cash and capitalization as of September 30, 2010. This table should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

 

 

 

 

Our Common Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the symbol “CNK.” The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices of our Common Stock on the NYSE for the periods indicated and dividends paid during such periods:

 

On November 8, 2010, the closing sale price of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE was $18.57 per share, and we had approximately 117 holders of record of our Common Stock.

 

Following this offering, we intend to continue to pay a quarterly cash dividend on our Common Stock. On November 2, 2010, our board of directors revised the dividend rate from an annual rate equal to $0.72 per share (or a quarterly rate equal to $0.18 per share) to $0.84 per share (or a quarterly rate equal to $0.21 per share) of our Common Stock. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by our status as a holding company and the terms of our indentures, our senior secured credit facility and certain of our other debt instruments, which restrict our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, directly or indirectly, to us. Under our debt instruments, we may pay a cash dividend up to a specified amount, provided we have satisfied certain financial covenants in, and are not in default under, our debt instruments. The declaration of future dividends on our Common Stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, limitations in our debt agreements and legal requirements. We cannot assure you that any dividends will be paid in the anticipated amounts and frequency set forth in this prospectus supplement, if at all.

 

This prospectus supplement relates to the resale from time to time of up to a total of 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder. The following table sets forth information with respect to the current beneficial ownership of the selling stockholder, the number of shares of our Common Stock being offered hereby by the selling stockholder and information with respect to shares to be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering, assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock. The percentages in the following table reflect the shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholder as a percentage of the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of November 5, 2010.

 

Under a director nomination agreement, MDCP is entitled to designate nominees for five members of our board of directors.

 

The selling stockholder has not, except as described in the immediately preceding paragraph and the footnote below, held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us within the past three years, other than its ownership of shares of our Common Stock as described below.

 

 

 

 

The following is a summary of material United States federal income and estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock as of the date hereof. Except where noted, this summary deals only with our Common Stock that is held as a capital asset by a non-U.S. holder.

 

A “non-U.S. holder” means a person (other than a partnership) that is not for United States federal income tax purposes any of the following:

 

 

This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income and estate tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not address all aspects of United States federal income and estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws (including if you are a United States expatriate, “controlled foreign corporation,” “passive foreign investment company” or a partnership or other pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes). We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this summary.

 

If a partnership holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our Common Stock, you should consult your tax advisors.

 

If you are considering the purchase of our Common Stock, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the ownership of our Common Stock, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

 

Dividends

 

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a United States permanent establishment) are not subject to the withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if our Common Stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

 

A non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Gain on Disposition of our Common Stock

 

Any gain realized on the disposition of our Common Stock generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless:

 

 

An individual non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated United States federal income tax rates. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. If a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

 

The determination of whether a corporation is a “United States real property holding corporation” for United States federal income tax purposes involves a complex factual analysis, including a valuation of the corporation’s assets. We have not determined at this time whether we are a United States real property holding corporation, although there is a possibility that we are or will become a United States real property holding corporation. If we are or become a United States real property holding corporation, then assuming our Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market (such as the NYSE), only a non-U.S. holder who holds or held (at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition and the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for our Common Stock) more than 5% of our Common Stock will be subject to the United States federal income tax on the disposition of our Common Stock under these rules.

 

Federal Estate Tax

 

Common stock held by an individual non-U.S. holder at the time of death will be included in such holder’s gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

 

A non-U.S. holder will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Recently Enacted Legislation

 

Under recently enacted legislation, the relevant withholding agent may be required to withhold 30% of any dividends and the proceeds of a sale of Common Stock paid after December 31, 2012 to (i) a foreign financial institution unless such foreign financial institution agrees to verify, report and disclose its U.S. account holders and meets certain other specified requirements or (ii) a non-financial foreign entity that is the beneficial owner of the payment unless such entity certifies that it does not have any substantial United States owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial United States owner and such entity meets certain other specified requirements. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of this newly enacted legislation.

 

Under the terms of an underwriting agreement, which we will file as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, Barclays Capital, as the sole underwriter in this offering, has agreed to purchase from the selling stockholder, 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

 

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter’s obligation to purchase shares of our Common Stock depends on the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement including:

 

 

Commissions and Expenses

 

The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions the selling stockholder will pay to the underwriter, assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock. The underwriting fee is the difference between the initial price to the public and the amount the underwriter pays to the selling stockholder for the shares.

 

 

The underwriter has advised us that the underwriter proposes to offer the shares of our Common Stock directly to the public at the public offering price on the cover of this prospectus supplement and to selected dealers, which may include the underwriter, at such offering price less a concession not in excess of $0.10 per share. After the offering, the underwriter may change the offering price and other selling terms. Sales of shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriter.

 

The expenses of this offering that are payable by us and the selling stockholder are estimated to be $150,000 (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions). We have agreed to pay expenses incurred by the selling stockholder in connection with the offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions, any costs and expenses incurred by the selling stockholder related to their performance under the underwriting agreement and any transfer taxes related to their sale of our Common Stock.

 

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

 

The selling stockholder has granted the underwriter an option exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions. This option may be exercised if the underwriter sells more than 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock in connection with the offering.

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

The selling stockholder has agreed that, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, it will not directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any shares of our Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of our Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by them in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of any options or warrants) or securities

convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our Common Stock, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right or file or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of our common stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or any of our other securities, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing for a period of 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.

 

The underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release our Common Stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreement described above in whole or in part at any time with or without notice. When determining whether or not to release our Common Stock and other securities from the lock-up agreement, the underwriter will consider, among other factors, the holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares of our Common Stock and other securities for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

 

Indemnification

 

We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make for these liabilities.

 

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

 

The underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, covering transactions or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of our Common Stock, in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act:

 

 

These stabilizing transactions and covering transactions may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Common Stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, the price of our Common Stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Common Stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

 

Electronic Distribution

 

A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites or through other online services maintained by the underwriter and/or selling group members participating in this offering, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the underwriter or selling group member, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriter may agree with us to allocate a specific number of shares for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriter on the same basis as other allocations.

 

Other than the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s or any selling group member’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriter or a selling group member is not part of the prospectus

supplement and the accompanying prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriter or any selling group member in its capacity as underwriter or selling group member and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Stamp Taxes

 

If you purchase shares of our Common Stock offered in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of the country of purchase, in addition to the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

Relationships

 

From time to time, Barclays Capital and its affiliates have, directly or indirectly, provided investment banking or financial advisory service to us, for which they have received customary fees and expense reimbursement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process for the delayed offering and sale of securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Under the shelf process, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell the offered securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. Additionally, under the shelf process, in certain circumstances, we may provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of a particular offering by one or more of the selling stockholders. We may also provide a prospectus supplement to add information to, or update or change information contained in, this prospectus.

 

This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement, portions of which we have omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document are not necessarily complete. You should refer to the copy of each contract or document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement for a complete description.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplements. Such documents contain important information you should consider when making your investment decision. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. The selling stockholders are offering to sell and seeking offers to buy shares of our Common Stock only in jurisdictions in which offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of Common Stock.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, “Cinemark,” “the Company,” “registrant,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar names refer to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and our subsidiaries.

Our business is subject to significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and which may be amended, supplemented or superceded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business. If any of the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

 

This prospectus includes “forward-looking statements” based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. They include statements relating to:

 

 

You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future” and “intends” and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors contained in this prospectus. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus reflect our view only as of the date of this prospectus. We do not undertake any obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholders for their own accounts. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. The Company will pay the costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the offered shares.

 

This offering is being made solely to allow the selling stockholders to offer and sell shares of our Common Stock to the public. The selling stockholders may offer for resale some of their shares at the time and price that they choose. On any given day, the price per share is likely to be based on the market price of our Common Stock, as quoted on the NYSE on the date of sale, unless shares are sold in private transactions. Consequently, we cannot currently determine the price at which the shares offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus may be sold.

 

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of up to a total of 76,494,511 shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders. The following table sets forth information with respect to the current beneficial ownership of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock being offered hereby by each selling stockholder and information with respect to shares to be beneficially owned by each selling stockholder after completion of this offering. The percentages in the following table reflect the shares

beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as a percentage of the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2009.

 

The selling stockholders have not, except as described in the footnotes below, held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us within the past three years, other than their ownership of shares of our Common Stock as described below and the issuance of the shares described in this prospectus.

 

 

 

 

We are registering 76,494,511 shares of our Common Stock for possible sale by the selling stockholders. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” include the selling stockholders named in the table in the “Selling Security Holders” section above and donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer after the date of this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders may offer and sell all or a portion of the shares covered by this prospectus from time to time, in one or more or any combination of the following transactions:

 

 

The selling stockholders may sell the shares at prices then prevailing or related to the then current market price or at negotiated prices. The offering price of the shares from time to time will be determined by each of the selling stockholders and, at the time of the determination, may be higher or lower than the market price of our Common Stock on the NYSE.

 

The shares may be sold directly or through broker-dealers acting as principal or agent, or pursuant to a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis. The selling stockholders may also enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions, broker-

dealers of other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which 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 supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). In connection with an underwritten offering, underwriters or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or from purchasers of the offered shares for whom they may act as agents. In addition, underwriters may sell the shares to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents participating in a distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders and any commissions received by broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify an underwriter, broker-dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the Common Stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Under the Registration Agreement dated August 7, 2006, we have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities related to the sale of the Common Stock, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

Under the Registration Agreement, we have also agreed to pay the costs, expenses and fees of registering the shares of Common Stock.

 

The selling stockholders have advised us that none of them have entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of its respective shares. Upon our notification by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing certain material information, including:

 

 

In addition, upon being notified by the selling stockholders that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest intends to sell more than 500 shares, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling stockholder.

 

The selling stockholders are subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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 the selling stockholders. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities for the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days

before the distribution. The restrictions may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities for the shares.

 

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. Instead of selling the shares of Common Stock under this prospectus, the selling stockholder may sell the shares of Common Stock in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
