Prospectus
450,000 Units
450,000 Warrants
7,371,937 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the offering of three categories of our securities. The categories include the following:
· Underwriter Unit Purchase Option (“UPO”)
The first category relates to an option for the purchase of 450,000 Units with each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock (“Warrant”). There is only one holder of our UPO, which was issued to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters in our initial public offering (“IPO”). The UPO allows the holder to purchase Units at an exercise price of $8.80 per Unit or alternatively on a cashless basis.
The Units consist of 450,000 Warrants (“UPO Warrants”) and 450,000 shares of Common Stock (“UPO Common Stock”), which are issuable upon exercise of the UPO. Only the holder of the Units that are issuable upon the exercise of the UPO may receive the UPO Warrants and UPO Common Stock. Since the UPO Warrant allows for the purchase of one share of Common stock, this prospectus also relates to 450,000 shares of our Common Stock that underlie the UPO Warrants.
· Common Stock Underlying IPO Warrants, Insider Warrants and Units
The second category of securities that this prospectus relates to are 4,705,956 shares of our Common Stock underlying Warrants and 28,045 shares of our Common Stock underlying outstanding Units. The 4,705,956 Warrants were part of 5,175,000 Units offered in our IPO on October 10, 2006 (including 675,000 Units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option) (“IPO Warrants”) and 1,136,364 Warrants purchased by our initial stockholders and affiliates in a private sale held concurrently with our IPO (“Insider Warrants”). During the period from November 26, 2008 through the date of this prospectus, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,605,408 Warrants resulting in an aggregate outstanding balance of 4,705,956 IPO Warrants and Insider Warrants. The 28,045 outstanding Units were part of the 5,175,000 Units offered in our IPO on October 10, 2006. Only the Holders of these Warrants may purchase from us shares of our Common Stock that are offered by this prospectus and that underlie the Warrants. Only the holders of these Units may acquire the shares of our Common Stock that are offered by this prospectus and that underlie the Units.
· Resale of Common Stock by Selling Security Holders
The third category of securities that this prospectus relates to is 1,737,936 shares of our Common Stock, which may be offered for sale from time to time by selling security holders identified in this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the selling security holders.
Warrants — generally. Each of our Warrants, including the UPO Warrants, IPO Warrants and Insider Warrants, currently entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share and is exercisable beginning after the date that the registration statement relating to this prospectus becomes effective and ending on October 2, 2010, unless earlier redeemed. The ability to exercise the Warrants is subject to registration of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Insider Warrants are identical to the UPO Warrants and IPO Warrants except that if we call the Warrants for redemption, the Insider Warrants may be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchaser of such Warrants or their affiliates.
We do not know whether the holder of the UPO or the holders of each of the UPO Warrants, IPO Warrants or Insider Warrants, if any, will exercise the UPO or any of the Warrants. If the holder of the UPO exercises the UPO, we will receive $3,960,000 for the issuance of all of the Units underlying the UPO, unless the UPO is exercised on a cashless basis. If all of the UPO Warrants, IPO Warrants and Insider Warrants are exercised, and the Warrants are not exercised on a cashless basis upon redemption, then we will receive $25,875,280.
Other
Our Common Stock, Warrants and Units are quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “PRIM,” “PRIMW” and “PRIMU,” respectively. On September 10, 2009, the closing sales prices of our Common Stock, Warrants and Units on the Nasdaq Global Market were $7.38 per share, $2.20 per Warrant and $11.50 per Unit, respectively.

PRIMORIS SERVICES CORPORATION
Primoris Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation formed in October 2006, is a holding company of various subsidiaries which form a diversified engineering and construction company providing a wide range of construction, fabrication, maintenance, replacement and engineering services to major public utilities, petrochemical companies, energy companies, municipalities and other customers. Since 1946, our primary subsidiary, ARB, Inc. (“ARB”) and its predecessor, has been engaged in the construction industry.
Primoris installs, replaces, repairs and rehabilitates natural gas, refined product, water and wastewater pipeline systems, and also constructs mechanical facilities, and other structures, including power plants, petrochemical facilities, refineries and parking structures. In addition, we provide maintenance services, including inspection, overhaul and emergency repair services, for cogeneration plants, refineries and similar mechanical facilities.
ARB is engaged primarily in the infrastructure, underground pipeline, directional drilling, and other structure construction and maintenance services. Through our subsidiary Onquest, Inc., we provide engineering design services for fired heaters and furnaces primarily used in refinery applications. Through our subsidiary Cardinal Contractors, Inc., we construct water and wastewater facilities in the Southeast United States. A substantial portion of our activities are performed in the Western United States, primarily in California. In addition, we have strategic presences in Florida, Texas, Latin America and Canada.
Company History and Merger
On February 19, 2008, Rhapsody Acquisition Corp. (“Rhapsody”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Primoris Corporation, a privately held Nevada corporation (“Former Primoris”), and certain stockholders of Former Primoris. On July 31, 2008, with the consent of both the Rhapsody stockholders and the stockholders of Former Primoris, the merger was completed. While Rhapsody was the surviving legal entity in the merger, Former Primoris was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. From October 2006 until the merger, Rhapsody’s common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and Units (each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant) traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbols “RPSD”, “RPSDW” and “RPSDU”, respectively. In connection with the merger, Rhapsody changed its name to “Primoris Services Corporation,” whose common stock, Warrants and Units have traded since August 4, 2008 on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbols “PRIM,” “PRIMW” and “PRIMU,” respectively.
Unless specifically noted otherwise, as used throughout this prospectus, “Primoris”, the “Company” or “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to the business, operations and financial results of Former Primoris prior to, and Primoris Services Corporation subsequent to, the closing of the merger on July 31, 2008, between us and Former Primoris as the context requires. “Rhapsody” refers to our operations or financial results prior to the closing of the merger.
As part of the merger, holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Former Primoris became entitled to receive an aggregate of (i) 23,587,200 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and the two foreign managers of Former Primoris were entitled to receive 507,600 shares of Common Stock, for a total of 24,094,800 shares of Common Stock at the closing of the merger (collectively, the “Former Primoris Holders”) plus (ii) the right to receive 2,500,000 additional shares (allowing for rounding) of our Common Stock for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and 2009 for a total of 5,000,000 additional shares, provided that we achieve specified performance (as defined in the Merger Agreement) milestones. Of the 24,094,800 shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the merger, 1,807,110 were required to be placed into escrow to provide funds to satisfy Rhapsody’s rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement. As of December 31, 2008, the Company achieved the specified performance milestone for 2008 and consequently, 2,500,025 shares were issued to the Former Primoris stockholders in March 2009.
1
At the time of the merger in July 2008, Brian Pratt, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, beneficially held more than 50% of the voting power of the Company, through his ownership of shares of our Common Stock and by the delivery of revocable proxies to Mr. Pratt from certain of our stockholders. As a result, the Company is considered a “controlled company” for purposes of the NASDAQ listing requirements (a corporation which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company). Therefore, the Company is not subject to the NASDAQ listing requirements that would otherwise require the Board of Directors to have a majority of independent directors and the compensation and nominating committees to be comprised entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, the Company’s stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of such NASDAQ corporate governance requirements, and the ability of independent directors to influence the business policies and affairs will likely be substantially reduced. However, as of March 17, 2009 the Board of Directors determined that five of the eight directors were independent under the applicable NASDAQ listing requirements.
The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Rhapsody was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the operations and management of Former Primoris comprising the ongoing operations and management of the Company after the merger. In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the merger was considered to be a capital transaction in substance. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger was treated as the equivalent of Former Primoris issuing stock for Rhapsody’s net assets, accompanied by a recapitalization. Our pre-merger net assets are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded as part of the merger transaction. Operations prior to the merger are those of Former Primoris.
Services
We provide services in two business segments, Construction Services and Engineering. Construction Services represented approximately 84.7% of revenues for 2008 and 85.9% in 2007. Engineering represented approximately 15.3% of revenues in 2008 and 14.1% in 2007. The segments include services as follows:
Construction Services:
The Construction Services segment specializes in a range of services that include designing, building/installing, replacing, repairing/rehabilitating and providing management services for construction related projects. Our services include:
· Providing installation of underground pipeline, cable and conduits for entities in the petroleum, petrochemical and water industries;
· Providing installation and maintenance of industrial facilities for entities in the petroleum, petrochemical and water industries; and
· Providing installation of complex commercial and industrial cast-in-place structures.
Engineering:
The Engineering segment specializes in designing, supplying and installing high-performance furnaces, heaters, burner management systems, and related combustion and process technologies for clients in the oil refining, petrochemical, and power generation industries. It also furnishes turnkey project management with the technical expertise and the ability to deliver custom engineering solutions worldwide.
Strategy
Our strategy emphasizes the following key elements:
· Diversification through Controlled Expansion. We continue to emphasize both the expansion of services beyond our traditional focus and the addition of new customers. We intend to continue to evaluate acquisitions that offer growth opportunities and the ability to leverage our resources as a leading service provider to the oil and gas, power, refining and water industries. The current strategy also includes selective expansion to new geographic regions.
· Emphasis on Retention of Existing Customers and Recurring Revenue. In order to fully leverage our relationships with our existing customer base, we believe it is important to maintain strong customer relationships and to expand our base of recurring revenue sources and recurring customers.
2
· Ownership of Equipment. Many of our services are equipment intensive. The cost of construction equipment provides a significant barrier to entry into several of our businesses. We believe that our ownership of a large and varied construction fleet and our maintenance facilities enhances our access to reliable equipment at a favorable cost.
· Stable Work Force. We maintain a stable work force of skilled, experienced laborers, many of whom are cross-trained in projects such as pipeline and facility construction, refinery maintenance, and piping systems.
· Selective Bidding. We selectively bid on projects that we believe offer an opportunity to meet our profitability objectives, or that offer the opportunity to enter promising new markets. In addition, we review our bidding opportunities to attempt to minimize concentration of work with any one customer, in any one industry, or in stressed labor markets.
· Focus on Private Sector Work. We focus on private sector work, which we believe is generally more profitable than public sector work and which allows for the development of long-term customer relationships. Through the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, approximately $454 million or 74.6% of our revenue was derived from private sector projects. In 2007, revenue of approximately $346 million, or 75.3% of our revenue, was derived from private sector projects.

Except for the historical information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference, this prospectus (and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus) contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here or incorporated by reference. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or Commission, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the Commission, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety (the “Primoris Services Corporation Risk Factors”).
Investment in our securities involves risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should consider carefully the Primoris Services Corporation Risk Factors, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including any additional specific risks described in any prospectus supplement. Each of these risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, which may result in the loss of all or part of your investment.
Keep these risk factors in mind when you read forward-looking statements contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. These statements relate to our expectations about future events. Discussions containing forward-looking statements may be found, among other places, in “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” incorporated by reference from our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the Commission. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and projections about future events and future trends affecting our business, and so are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties described below under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including statements concerning future conditions in the engineering and construction services industries, and concerning our future business, financial condition, operating strategies, and operational and legal risks. We use words like “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “goal,” “future,” “plan” or variations of those terms and other similar expressions, including their use in the negative, to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as to our expectations as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the caption “Risk Factors” above, contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the Commission. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual conditions in the engineering and construction services industries, and actual conditions and results in our business, could differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. In addition, none of the events anticipated in the forward-looking statements may actually occur. Any of these different outcomes could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline substantially. Except as required by law, we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement after the date of this prospectus, either to conform any statement to reflect actual results or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Unit Purchase Option
We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering under this prospectus of the Units underlying the UPO, the UPO Warrants, the UPO Common Stock and the Common Stock underlying the UPO Warrants for general corporate purposes. These purposes may include funding capital expenditures, working capital, repayment of debt and investments. However, if all or a portion of the UPO is exercised on a cashless basis, the proceeds that we will receive from issuance of the Units underlying the UPO may be minimal or equal to zero dollars.
Common Stock Underlying IPO Warrants, Insider Warrants and Units
We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering under this prospectus of Common Stock underlying the IPO Warrants and Insider Warrants for general corporate purposes. These purposes may include funding capital expenditures, working capital, repayment of debt and investments. However, if the Insider Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, as described below in “Description of Securities,” the proceeds that we will receive from the issuance of Common Stock underlying the Insider Warrants may be minimal or equal to zero dollars. We will receive no proceeds from the offering under this prospectus of Common Stock underlying the Units.
Resale of Common Stock by Selling Security Holders
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of Common Stock by the selling security holders under this prospectus. Rather, all proceeds will be received by the selling security holders.
Subsequent to the July 2008 merger, the Merger Agreement provided that our Board of Directors will initially declare and pay annual dividends on our Common Stock at a rate of not less than $0.10 per share; provided, however, that the Board of Directors will not declare any such dividend unless, at the time of declaration, there is adequate surplus for such declaration under Delaware law, or if the Board of Directors, in the exercise of their business judgment, believes that it would be prudent to cancel or modify the dividend payment. The payment of dividends subsequent to the merger are contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition of the company, as well as contractual restrictions and other considerations deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
On August 8, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.025 per share on our outstanding shares of Common Stock, payable to stockholders of record as of September 23, 2008. These dividends were paid on October 10, 2008. Cash dividends have since been paid each subsequent quarter for stockholders of record as of December 23, 2008, as of March 31, 2009 and as of June 30, 2009. On August 7, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.025 per share of Common Stock, payable to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2009 and payable on or about October 15, 2009.
6
We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by the Board pursuant to this policy, would likely be distributable on or about the fifteenth day of each of the months of October, January, April and July. There can be no guarantees that we will have the financial wherewithal to fund this dividend in perpetuity or to pay it at historic rates. Further, the Board may decide not to pay the dividend at some future time for financial or non-financial reasons.
Selling Security Holder Table
This prospectus covers the offer and sale by the selling security holders of up to 1,737,936 shares of Common Stock, including 1,685,268 of Common Stock currently outstanding and 52,668 shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the future, as discussed below. The selling security holders are certain individuals who purchased shares of Common Stock prior to our IPO (“Founders”) and two foreign managers of Former Primoris who received shares of Common Stock in a Regulation S offering, in consideration of entering into certain termination agreements (“Foreign Managers”). The total shares of Common Stock being offered consists of the following:

In April 2006, the Founders purchased 1,125,000 shares of our Common Stock for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share (the “Founders Purchase Transaction”) . As of the IPO, all of the Founders and all of our officers and directors, placed their initial shares into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited exceptions (such as transfers to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, while remaining in escrow), these shares were not transferable during the escrow period and were not to be released from escrow until one year after Rhapsody’s consummation of a business combination with Former Primoris or earlier if, following the business combination, we engaged in a subsequent transaction resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities. The shares of Common Stock held in escrow on behalf of the Founders were released from escrow in August 2009. A majority of the Founders and holders of the Insider Warrants are entitled to demand that we register their shares pursuant to an agreement signed in connection with our IPO. The holders of the majority of their shares could elect to exercise these registration rights commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of Common Stock were released from escrow. In addition, these stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of the business combination. We are to bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received a demand to register the Founder’s shares pursuant to the registration rights agreement.
In July 2008, the two Foreign Managers, pursuant to certain termination agreements, received a total of 507,600 shares of Common Stock. In addition, to the extent we achieve certain performance milestones in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and 2009, as set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Foreign Managers are entitled to receive 52,668 shares of Common Stock for each such year. We achieved the relevant performance milestone for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information about the selling security holders as of September 11, 2009, the date of the table, based on information furnished to us by the selling security holders. Except as indicated in the preceding sections or in the footnotes to the table (i) each selling security holder has indicated to us that it is acting individually, not as a member of a group, and (ii) none of the selling security holders or their affiliates has held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us in the past three years.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. To our knowledge, except as indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Shares of Common Stock underlying derivative securities, if any, that currently are exercisable or convertible or are scheduled to become exercisable or convertible for or into shares of Common Stock within 60 days after the date of the table are deemed to be outstanding in calculating the percentage ownership of each listed person or group but are not deemed to be outstanding as to any other person or group. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 32,477,364 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the table. The amount of shares shown as beneficially owned after the offering is based on the assumption that all shares being offered are sold.

We are registering 450,000 Units underlying the UPO, 450,000 shares of Common Stock and 450,000 UPO Warrants, which are included in such Units, and 450,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the UPO Warrants. As a result, we are only offering the UPO Units, the UPO Common Stock, the UPO Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the UPO Warrants to the holder of the UPO. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the UPO Units, UPO Common Stock, UPO Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the UPO Warrants, which are offered in this prospectus. The holder of the UPO will bear any brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses that may result from their resale of any such Units, Warrants or shares of Common Stock.
The UPO Units offered by us through this prospectus will be issued upon surrender of the associated UPO certificate, completion of documentation to evidence the exercise of the UPO and payment of the exercise price of $8.80 per Unit in cash or by certified check or official bank check, to us. Upon proper exercise of the UPO, we will instruct our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to issue the Units underlying the exercised UPO in the name of the person as directed by the holder of the UPO. The holder of the UPO may exercise all or any portion of the UPO at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 2, 2011, however, after October 2, 2010, no UPO Warrants can be issued. Once issued to the holder of the UPO upon proper exercise of the UPO, the Units registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part will be freely tradeable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
Copies of this prospectus will be delivered to the record holder of the UPO promptly following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The UPO holder who desires to purchase the UPO Units under this prospectus must properly exercise its UPO on or before October 2, 2011.
We are registering an aggregate of 5,175,056 shares of Common Stock underlying each of the UPO Warrants, IPO Warrants and Insider Warrants. A “Warrant Holder” may include persons who receive Warrants or shares of Common Stock from a Warrant Holder after the date of this prospectus. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of Common Stock underlying each of the Warrants offered in this prospectus. The Warrant Holders will bear any brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses that may result from their resale of the shares of Common Stock offered in this prospectus.
The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants offered by us through this prospectus will be issued upon surrender of the associated warrant certificate, completion of documentation to evidence the exercise of the Warrant and payment of the exercise price of $5.00 per share in cash, good certified check or good bank draft, to our warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Upon proper exercise of a Warrant, our warrant agent will issue the shares of Common Stock underlying the exercised Warrant in the name of the person as directed by the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder may exercise all or any portion of a Warrant beginning after the date that the registration statement relating to this prospectus becomes effective and ending at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 2, 2010, unless earlier redeemed. Once issued to a Warrant Holder upon proper exercise of a Warrant, the shares of Common Stock registered in this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part will be freely tradeable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
Copies of this prospectus will be delivered to the record holders of our Warrants promptly following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Any Warrant Holder who desires to purchase shares of Common Stock under this prospectus must properly exercise his or her warrants on or before October 2, 2010.
The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our Common Stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
9
· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· privately negotiated transactions;
· to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, is declared effective by the Commission;
· broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
· a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling security holders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling security holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling security holder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling security holders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If any of the shares of Common Stock offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the selling security holders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.

General
We are authorized to issue 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001. As of the date of this prospectus, 32,477,364 shares of Common Stock are outstanding. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.
Units
Each unit consists of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock.
Common stock
Our stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of Directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of Directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the election of Directors can elect all of the Directors.
Our stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock
Preferred stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. No shares of preferred stock have been currently issued. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.
Warrants
There are currently 4,705,956 Warrants outstanding. In our IPO, we issued 5,175,000 Units (including 675,000 Units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option), which Units were comprised of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant. Simultaneous with our IPO, we sold 1,136,364 of our Warrants to our initial stockholders and affiliates in a private sale. Since their original issuance, we have repurchased an aggregate of 1,605,408 of the IPO Warrants and Insider Warrants.
Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below.
The Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 2, 2010.
We may call the Warrants for redemption (including the IPO Warrants, Insider Warrants and UPO Warrants),
|
· |
|
in whole and not in part, |
|
|
|
|
|
· |
|
at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time while the warrants are exercisable (which will occur only if a registration statement relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and current), |
|
|
|
|
|
· |
|
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant holder, and |
|
|
|
|
|
· |
|
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to Warrant holders. |
The redemption criteria for our Warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide Warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient degree of liquidity to cushion the market reaction to our redemption call.
11
If we call the Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a Warrant redemption.
If we call our Warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the initial purchasers or their affiliates of the Insider Warrants would still be entitled to exercise their Insider Warrants still held by them for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other Warrant holders would have been required to use had all Warrant holders been required to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis.
The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Common Stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.
The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No Warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is current and the Common Stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to meet these conditions and use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so and, if we do not maintain a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their Warrants and we will not be required to settle any such Warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not current or if the Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the Warrants reside, we will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the Warrant exercise, the Warrants may have no value, the market for the Warrants may be limited and the Warrants may expire worthless.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder.
Registration Rights
The holders of our shares issued prior to the IPO, as well as the holders of the Insider Warrants (and underlying securities), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to our IPO. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the initial shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of Common Stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Insider Warrants (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummated the July 2008 merger. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of the July 2008 merger. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In particular, paragraph B of Article Eighth of our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation provides:
“The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.
“Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.
(a) A corporation shall have power to 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the 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 the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the 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 reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person
II-1
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
II-2
in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).”
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Pursuant to our bylaws, we also maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which insures our directors and officers against liability asserted against such persons in such capacity whether or not such directors or officers have the right to indemnification pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item 17. Undertakings
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;
(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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 (1)(i), (1)(ii)(1)(iii) shall 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, 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; and
(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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 the 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 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
II-4
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 an 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 an undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about an undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of an undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by an undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 hereof, 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 Securities Act of 1933, 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-5
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Lake Forest, State of California, on this 11th day of September, 2009.
