2,911,165 Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

582,233 Shares of Common Stock

 


 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate to the issuance and sale from time to time of up to 2,911,165 warrants (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of M-tron Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MPTI” or the “Company”), as a distribution to all holders of the shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on March 10, 2025 (the “Record Date”). This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus also relate to the issuance of up to 582,233 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

The Common Stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “MPTI.” On April 24, 2025, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock on the NYSE American was $53.43.

 

The Company has declared a distribution (the “Warrant Distribution”) of transferable Warrants at no charge to all of its stockholders of record on the Record Date. If you own shares of Common Stock on the Record Date, you will be entitled to receive one (1) Warrant for each share of Common Stock you own. When exercisable, five (5) Warrants will entitle their holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $47.50 per share. The Warrants will only become exercisable on the date that is the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the “Calendar Expiration Date” (as defined below) and (ii) such date that the average volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock is greater than or equal to $52.00 per share for the prior thirty (30) consecutive trading day period (such date, the “Trigger”); provided, however, that should the Trigger occur, the Warrants must be exercised within thirty (30) days of the Company's notification pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (as defined below) that the Trigger has occurred (the “Trigger Expiration Date”). Once the Warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the earlier of April 25, 2028 (the “Calendar Expiration Date”) or the Trigger Expiration Date (the “Expiration Date”).

 

Warrant holders who exercise their Warrants in full are also entitled to an over-subscription privilege, whereby such Warrant holder may also choose to subscribe for any or all of the shares issuable pursuant to any unexercised Warrants on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2025 if all Warrants issued in the Warrant Distribution were exercised, we would have up to 3,499,062 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following the completion of the exercise period for the Warrants.

 

The Warrants have been issued by MPTI pursuant to a Warrant Agreement, dated April 25, 2025 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and among MPTI, Computershare Inc., and its affiliate Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”). The Warrants will be transferable when issued. We have applied for listing the Warrants on the NYSE American and expect trading to commence on or around April 30, 2025 under the symbol “MPTI WS.” However, there can be no assurance that a liquid trading market for the Warrants will develop.

 

MPTI may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for cash. See “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement.

 

Our board of directors is not making a recommendation regarding your exercise of the Warrants. You should carefully consider whether to exercise them.

 


 

Investing in our securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 in this prospectus supplement, and on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus, as well as those described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other public filings.

 


 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any state securities commission, nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement and the prospectus to which it relates are truthful and complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

Delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants (or exercise of the over-subscription privilege) may be longer than two business days and accordingly, holders of Warrants who wish to trade the shares of Common Stock they would receive upon exercise of their Warrants (or exercise of the over-subscription privilege) may need to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of such trade to prevent a failed settlement.

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is April 25, 2025.

We seek to leverage our core strength as an engineering leader to expand client access, add new capabilities and continue to diversify our product offerings. We believe that successful execution of this strategy will lead to a transformation of our product portfolio towards multi-component integrated offerings, longer product life cycles, better margins and an improved competitive position.

 

Business Segment

 

The Company conducts its business through one business segment: Electronic Components, which includes all products manufactured and sold by MPTI.

 

 

S-4

 

Products

 

MPTI’s portfolio is divided into three product groupings, Frequency Control, Spectrum Control and Integrated Microwave Assemblies (Solutions), and has expanded from primarily crystal-based components to include higher levels of integration, advanced materials science, cavity-based products, and various types of compensation methods employing integrated circuits and other methods to create products geared for applications that require high reliability in harsh environments. These products are differentiated by their precise level of accuracy, stability over time and within harsh environments, and very low phase noise.

 

Frequency Control

 

MPTI’s Frequency Control product group includes a broad portfolio of quartz crystal resonators, clock oscillators, voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, oven-controlled crystal oscillator and temperature-compensated voltage-controlled crystal oscillator devices which meet some of the tightest specifications, including Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 1588 standards. These devices may be based on quartz, quartz micro-electromechanical systems or advanced materials science designed to achieve higher performance levels than quartz. MPTI's products offer high reliability over a wide temperature range and are well-suited for harsh environments, including shock and vibration-resistant oscillators with low-g sensitivity. These products are designed for applications within aerospace and defense, avionics, and industrial markets.

 

Spectrum Control

 

MPTI’s Spectrum Control product group includes a wide array of radio frequency (“RF”), microwave and millimeter wave filters and diplexers covering a frequency range from 1 MHz to 30 GHz, and solid-state power amplifiers covering a frequency range from 300 MHz to 26 GHz, with power output from 10 Watts to 10kW. Filter devices include crystal, ceramic, LC, planar, combline, cavity, interdigital and metal insert waveguide, as well as switched filter arrays and RF subsystems. Power amplifiers add active devices to MPTI's portfolio and include gallium nitride, gallium arsenide field-effect transistors, laterally-diffused metal-oxide semiconductors and chip and wire technologies in narrow or broadband, module or rack-mounted packages. These products are employed in applications within the commercial and military aerospace and defense, space, avionics, and industrial markets.

 

Integrated Microwave Assembly

 

MPTI’s Integrated Microwave Assembly (“IMA”) products group brings over 60 years of expert crystal, filter and oscillator design experience to our Custom Multi-Functional Modules (“MFM”) and Integrated Microwave Assemblies. Spanning frequencies from 10MHz to 50GHz, components such as filters, low noise amplifiers, couplers, attenuators, switches, circulators, oscillators, multipliers, phase lock loops, mixers, digitally tuned oscillators, voltage-controlled oscillators, and phase shifters, all with associated control circuitry, are integrated into one exceptional Size, Weight and Power at a competitive Cost assembly.

The Offering

 

This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. You should read carefully the following summary together with the more detailed description of the terms of the Warrants and Common Stock contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. See Description of the Warrants and Description of the Capital Stock.

 

Issuer

M-tron Industries, Inc.

Securities Distributed

We are distributing to the holders of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the Record Date, at no charge, one (1) warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”) for each share of Common Stock owned. When exercisable, five (5) Warrants will entitle their holder to purchase one (1) share of our Common Stock at the exercise price.

Record Date

5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 10, 2025 (the “Record Date”).

Exercise Price

$47.50, subject to certain adjustments. The exercise price is payable only in cash.

Exercise Period

The Warrants will only become exercisable on the date (the “Effective Date”) that is the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the Calendar Expiration Date (as defined below) and (ii) such date that the average volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock is greater than or equal to $52.00 per share for the prior thirty (30) consecutive trading day period (the “Trigger”); provided, however, that should the Trigger occur, the Warrants must be exercised within thirty (30) days of the Company’s notification pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated April 25, 2025 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and among MPTI, Computershare Inc., and its affiliate Computershare Trust Company N.A., as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), that the Trigger has occurred (the “Trigger Expiration Date”); provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the thirty (30) consecutive trading day period referred to above shall, if applicable, be measured only on or after the date that the Warrants are issued. Once the Warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the earlier of April 25, 2028 (the “Calendar Expiration Date”) or the Trigger Expiration Date (the “Expiration Date”).

Over-Subscription Privilege

Any Holder that exercises such Holder’s Warrants in full from and after the Effective Date until, as applicable, (i) the Calendar Expiration Date or (ii) the Trigger Expiration Date (the “Over-Subscription Period” and the last day of such period, the “Over-Subscription Deadline”), may, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, elect to subscribe for any or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any outstanding but unexercised Warrants as of the Over-Subscription Deadline. The number of shares of Common Stock that will be available in the aggregate to all Holders that exercise their Warrants pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege with respect to the Warrants will be the number of shares of Common Stock which are not subscribed for as of the Over-Subscription Deadline pursuant to the basic Warrant exercise rights of all Holders (the “Basic Warrant Exercise Right”).

 

You should carefully read the section entitled “Description of Warrants – Over-Subscription Privilege” on page S-14 of this prospectus supplement regarding the terms of the Over-Subscription Privilege.

Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock or pay cash in lieu thereof. If you would be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, we will first aggregate the total number of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants and then round down the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to you to the nearest whole number. A whole number is any non-negative number, including zero, that is not a fraction or decimal. No cash or other adjustment will be made in lieu of the fraction of a Warrant so rounded down.

Expiration Date

5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the earlier of the Calendar Expiration Date or the Trigger Expiration Date. The Warrants will have no financial value after the Expiration Date.

Transferability of Warrants; Listing

The Warrants may be sold, transferred or assigned, in whole or in part. We have applied for listing the Warrants on the NYSE American and expect trading to commence on or around April 30, 2025, under the symbol “MPTI WS.” Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “MPTI.” 

Shares of Common Stock Currently Outstanding

2,916,829 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding as of April 25, 2025. 

Shares Outstanding After Exercise of Warrants

If all of the Warrants are exercised in full, there would be 3,499,062 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Use of Proceeds

The purpose of this distribution of Warrants is to return a portion of the Company’s future value to its stockholders in a cost-effective manner that gives all of our stockholders the opportunity to participate in the Company’s growth.

 

Assuming that all Warrants are exercised (including exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege), the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants will be approximately $27.5 million, after deducting our estimated expenses related to this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds of Warrant exercises for general corporate purposes.

Governing Law

The Warrants and the Warrant Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Warrant Agent

Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants involves significant financial risk. You should carefully read the section entitled “Risk Factors” on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement, as well as in our reports incorporated by reference herein, before you make a decision as to the exercise of your Warrants to determine whether an investment in our securities is appropriate for you.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

You should carefully read the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page S-16 of this prospectus supplement, and consult your tax advisor on tax treatment of the Warrants and exercise thereof.

 

 

S-6

 

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the specific risks described below, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the risk factors described under the caption Risk Factors in any applicable prospectus supplement and any risk factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC made pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision. Each of the risks described below and in these documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. See Where You Can Find More Information.

 

The Warrants may not have any value.

 

The Warrants will only become exercisable on the Effective Date. Once the Warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the applicable Expiration Date.

 

The Warrants have an exercise price of $47.50 per share. This exercise price does not necessarily bear any relationship to established criteria for valuation of our Common Stock, such as book value per share, cash flows, or earnings, and you should not consider this exercise price as an indication of the current or future market price of our Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will exceed $47.50 per share at any time on the Expiration Date or at any other time the Warrants may be exercised. If the Warrants only become exercisable on the Calendar Expiration Date and the market price of our Common Stock on such date does not exceed $47.50 per share, your Warrants will be of no value.

 

There can be no assurance that the average VWAP of our Common Stock will be greater than or equal to $52.00 per share for the prior thirty (30) consecutive trading day period at any time prior to the Calendar Expiration Date. As a result, the Warrants may become exercisable only on the Calendar Expiration Date. If the Warrants may be exercised only on the Calendar Expiration Date and you do not exercise your Warrants on that date, your Warrants will expire and be of no value.

 

No Warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to our 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 related 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.

 

The trading price for the Warrants may bear little or no relationship to traditional valuation methods, or to the market price of our Common Stock, and therefore the trading price of the Warrants may fluctuate significantly following their issuance.

 

The trading price of the Warrants may have little or no relationship to, and may be significantly lower, or at times higher, than the price that would otherwise be established using traditional indicators of value, such as our future prospects and those of our industry in general; future potential revenues, earnings, cash flows, and other financial and operating information, or multiples thereof; market prices of securities and other financial and operating information of companies engaged in drug development activities similar to ours; and the views of research analysts. Potential investors should not buy Warrants in the open market unless they are willing to take the risk that the trading price of the Warrants could fluctuate and decline significantly.

 

An active trading market for our Warrants may not develop.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Warrants. We have applied for listing the Warrants on the NYSE American and expect trading to commence on or around April 30, 2025 under the symbol "MPTI WS." Even if the Warrants are approved for listing on the NYSE American, an active trading market for our Warrants may not develop or be sustained. If an active market for our Warrants does not develop, it may be difficult for you to sell the Warrants without depressing the market price for such securities.

 

Holders of our Warrants will have no rights as a Common Stockholder until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire shares of our Common Stock.

 

Until Warrant holders acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, Warrant holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our Common Stock underlying such Warrants. Upon the acquisition of shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a Common Stockholder only as to matters for which the Record Date for the matter occurs after the exercise date of the Warrants.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of any net proceeds from this offering and may allocate any net proceeds from this offering in ways that you and other shareholders may not approve.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds, if any, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether any net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of any net proceeds from this Warrant Distribution, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure of our management to use these funds, if any, effectively could harm our business.

 

 

S-7

 

Adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants, or the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable, following certain corporate events may not fully compensate Warrant holders for the value they would have received if they held the Common Stock underlying the Warrants at the time of such events.

 

Subject to certain excluded transactions, the Warrants provide for adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants following a number of corporate events, including (i) our issuance of a stock dividend or the subdivision or combination of our Common Stock, (ii) our issuance of rights, options or Warrants to purchase our Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration at less than the market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the announcement date of the issuance, (iii) a distribution of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary other than our Common Stock, rights to acquire such capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets, (iv) our issuance of a cash dividend on our Common Stock, (v) certain tender offers for our Common Stock by the Company or one or more of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and (vi) adjustments in the discretion of our board of directors (the “Board”), subject to certain notice requirements. The Warrants also provide for adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable following our issuance of a stock dividend or the subdivision or combination of our Common Stock. Any adjustment made to the exercise price of the Warrants or the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable following a corporate event in accordance with these provisions may not fully compensate Warrant holders for the value they would have received if they held the Common Stock underlying the Warrants at the time of the event.

 

The prices of our Common Stock have fluctuated considerably and are likely to remain volatile, in part due to the limited market for our securities.

 

From January 1, 2024, through April 24, 2025, the high and low sales price for our Common Stock was $69.98 and $23.79, respectively. There is a limited public market for our Common Stock, and we cannot provide assurances that a more active trading market will develop or be sustained. As a result of low trading volume in our Common Stock, the purchase or sale of a relatively small number of securities could result in significant price fluctuations and it may be difficult for holders to sell their securities without depressing the market price for such securities.

 

Additionally, the market prices of our Common Stock may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

General economic conditions affecting the availability of long-term or short-term credit facilities, the purchasing and payment patterns of our customers, or the requirements imposed by our suppliers;

 

Economic conditions in our industry and in the industries of our customers and suppliers;

 

Changes in financial estimates or investment recommendations by securities analysts relating to our Common Stock;

 

Market reaction to our reported financial results;

 

Loss of a major customer;

 

Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; and

 

Changes in key personnel.

 

Our officers and directors have significant voting power and may vote their shares in a manner that is not in the best interest of other stockholders.

 

Our officers and directors control approximately 6.6% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of common stock as of April 25, 2025. If these stockholders act together, they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our stockholders.

 

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of the Company more difficult, which acquisition may be beneficial to stockholders.

 

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as provisions of the General Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of the Company, even if such a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include prohibiting our stockholders from fixing the number of directors, and establishing advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings and nominations to the Board.

 

Additionally, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. We have not opted out of the restrictions under Section 203, as permitted under DGCL.

 

The shares of Common Stock may not be delivered within two business days of exercise of Warrants and alternative settlement cycles may be required.

 

Delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants (including the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege) may be longer than two (2) business days. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two (2) business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, holders of Warrants who wish to trade the shares of Common Stock they would receive upon exercise of their Warrants (including the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege) may be required, by virtue of the fact that some Warrant exercise settlements may not occur within two (2) business days, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Holders who wish to trade shares of Common Stock with such alternative settlement cycles should consult their own advisors.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the distribution of the Warrants. Assuming that all Warrants are exercised, the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants (including exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege) will be approximately $27.5 million, after deducting our estimated expenses related to this offering including legal, accounting, listing, and exercise fees.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures and implementation of our strategic priorities. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in short-term, interest bearing, investment-grade marketable securities or money market obligations.

 

We cannot assure you that any of the Warrants will be exercised or that, if any Warrants are exercised, we will use the resulting proceeds in a way with which you agree.

 

 

S-9

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

As soon as practicable after the date hereof, we will distribute the Warrants to individuals who owned shares of our Common Stock on the Record Date. If the Warrants become exercisable as outlined in the section “Description of Warrants – Exercisability,” the Warrant Agent will notify The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, and mail to each Warrant holder exercise forms detailing the terms and procedure for exercise of the Warrants (including exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege). As Warrants are exercised (including exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege), the Warrant Agent will deliver the shares of our Common Stock issued upon such exercise to stockholders and forward the proceeds from the Warrant exercises to us.

 

To the extent that our directors and officers held shares of our Common Stock as of the Record Date, they will receive the Warrants. Our directors and officers may also sell some or all of their Warrants or their shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrant (including exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege).

 

We have agreed to pay the Warrant Agent and transfer agent customary fees plus certain expenses in connection with the Warrant Distribution. We have not employed any brokers, dealers or underwriters in connection with the Warrant Distribution or any exercise of the Warrants (or exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which:

 

25,000,000 shares are designated as Common Stock; and

 

5,000,000 shares are designated as Preferred Stock.

 

As of April 25, 2025, there were 2,916,829 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

The following summary description of our capital stock is not necessarily complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Charter and Bylaws, each of which have been filed with the SEC, as well as applicable provisions of Delaware law. 

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under the Charter, the Company’s stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

 

Dividend Rights

 

Subject to preferences that may apply to any then-outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of legally available funds. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of the Company’s debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Other Rights

 

The outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights, and the Common Stock is not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock we may issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Under the Charter, the Board may, without further action by the Company’s stockholders, fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and authorize their issuance. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, preemptive rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of Common Stock. Any issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders would receive dividend payments.

 

 

S-11

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

 

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Under Section 203, a “business combination” includes the following:

 

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

 

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

 

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. The Company has not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of the Company may be discouraged or prevented.

 

Charter and Bylaws

 

Among other things, the Company’s Charter and Bylaws:

 

permit the Board to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as the Board may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change of control;

 

provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board;

 

provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director;

 

provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by (i) the chairperson of the Board, (ii) the chief executive officer or (iii) a majority vote of the Board, and by the secretary upon written request of stockholders representing at least 25% of all votes entitled to be voted on the matter to be voted on; and

 

do not provide for cumulative voting rights, therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.

 

The amendment of any of these provisions would require approval by the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the Company’s then-outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

The combination of these provisions will make it more difficult for the Company’s existing stockholders to replace the Board as well as for another party to obtain control of the Company by replacing the Board. Since the Board has the power to retain and discharge the Company’s officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated Preferred Stock makes it possible for the Board to issue Preferred Stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change the control of the Company.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Board and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce the Company’s vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for the Company’s shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in the Company’s control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s stock.

 

 

S-12

 

Exclusive Forum Provision

 

The Charter contains an exclusive forum provision which provides that, unless the Board consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over an action or proceeding, then another court of the State of Delaware or, if no court of the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, then the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for “Covered Proceedings,” which include: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s current or former directors, officers, employees, agents and stockholders to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws; and (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. To the extent within the categories set forth in the preceding sentence, Covered Proceedings include causes of action under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The exclusive forum provision also provides that if any Covered Proceeding is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware in the name of any stockholder, then such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the exclusive forum provision and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the action as agent for such stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision of the Company’s Charter will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

 

The exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees or be cost-prohibitive to stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees. However, there is uncertainty regarding whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is Computershare.

 

Listing

 

The Common Stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “MPTI.”

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

 

The Bylaws provide that the Company must indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The Company is also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for its directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. The Company maintains customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Board. These agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding as a result of their services to the Company, cover procedures for advancement of legal fees, include provisions as to the manner of indemnification entitlement determinations and require the Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance. The Company believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

 

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Charter and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuits against directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the investments of stockholders may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

To the extent the Company’s directors and officers are indemnified against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, whether under the provisions contained in the Charter or Bylaws, pursuant to Delaware law or by other contractual arrangements providing for indemnification which the Company may enter into from time to time, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

The material terms and provisions of the Warrants are summarized below. The Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement, dated as of April 25, 2025 (the Warrant Agreement), by and among the Company, Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Warrant Agent. The following description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Warrants.

 

Exercisability

 

Five (5) Warrants entitle their registered holder to purchase one (1) share of our Common Stock at the exercise price then in effect. The Warrants will only become exercisable on the date that is the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days prior to April 25, 2028 and (ii) such date that the average VWAP of our Common Stock is greater than or equal to $52.00 per share for the prior thirty (30) consecutive trading day period; provided, however, that should the Trigger occur, the Warrants must be exercised within thirty (30) days of the Company’s notification pursuant to the Warrant Agreement that the Trigger has occurred; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the thirty (30) consecutive trading day period referred to above shall, if applicable, be measured only on or after the date that the Warrants are issued. Once the Warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the earlier of the Calendar Expiration Date or the Trigger Expiration Date.

 

We will monitor the VWAP of our Common Stock. Within four (4) business days after the first (1st) trading day after the issuance of the Warrants on which the average VWAP for our Common Stock that is greater than or equal to $52.00 per share for the prior thirty (30) consecutive trading day period (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications and similar events), we will instruct the Warrant Agent to give all Warrant holders notice that the Trigger has occurred and that the thirty (30)-day exercise period has commenced and to provide instructions on how to exercise Warrants during the exercise period. We will issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K to notify the public if the Trigger has occurred promptly, and the exercise period shall commence on the date that such press release is issued and Current Report on Form 8-K is filed.

 

If the Warrants become exercisable on or prior to the date that is six (6) weeks prior to the Expiration Date because the Trigger has occurred, the Warrant Agent will notify DTC and mail to each Warrant holder exercise forms detailing the terms and procedure for exercise of the Warrants. As Warrants are exercised, the Warrant Agent will deliver the shares of our Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants to stockholders and forward the proceeds from the Warrant exercises to us.

 

No Warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to our 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 the 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. If we do not maintain a current prospectus related 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.

 

Over-Subscription Privilege

 

Any Holder that exercises such Holder’s Warrants in full from and after the Effective Date until the applicable Expiration Date may, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, elect to subscribe for any or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any outstanding but unexercised Warrants as of the Over-Subscription Deadline.

 

The number of shares of Common Stock that will be available in the aggregate to all Holders that exercise their Warrants pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege with respect to the Warrants will be the number of shares of Common Stock which are not subscribed for as of the Over-Subscription Deadline pursuant to the Basic Warrant Exercise Rights of all Holders (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Under-Subscribed Shares”).

 

If the requests for over-subscription exceed the number of Under-Subscribed Shares, each Holder who exercises the Over-Subscription Privilege in connection with the exercise of Warrants during the Over-Subscription Period will be allocated, with respect to each Exercise Notice, a pro rata percentage of the Under-Subscribed Shares equal to the percentage that results from dividing (i) the number of Warrants exercised by such Holder pursuant to the relevant Exercise Notice during the Over-Subscription Period by (ii) the number of Warrants exercised during the Over-Subscription Period by all Holders who elect to participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege (the “Pro Rata Share”), and the number of shares of Common Stock so allocated to such Holder will be the product of the Pro Rata Share and the Under-Subscribed Shares. Such percentage could result in the allocation of more or fewer over-subscription shares of Common Stock than the Holder requested to purchase through the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege.

 

 
S-14

 

However, if this allocation results in any Holder receiving a greater number of shares of Common Stock than the Holder subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege (the “Elected Over-Subscription Shares”), then such Holder will be allocated only that number of shares of Common Stock for which the Holder over-subscribed. Any shares of Common Stock that remain available as a result of the allocation described above being greater than a Holder’s over-subscription request will be allocated among all remaining Holders who exercised the Over-Subscription Privilege and whose initial allocations were less than the number of shares of Common Stock they requested. This second allocation will be made pursuant to the same formula described above (recalculating the Pro Rata Share by reference to such remaining Holders) and repeated, if necessary, until all available shares of Common Stock have been allocated or all over-subscription requests have been satisfied in full.

 

Over-subscription requests must be submitted at the same time as a Holder exercises its Basic Warrant Exercise Right during the Over-Subscription Period, and in any case no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Over-Subscription Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, all requests for exercises of Basic Warrant Exercise Rights and of any Over-Subscription Privilege must occur within the exercise period.

 

To properly exercise the Over-Subscription Privilege, a Holder must deliver an amount in cash equal to the Elected Over-Subscription Shares multiplied by the then applicable Implied Per Share Exercise Price (such amount, the “Elected Over-Subscription Shares Amount”) at the same time as the Basic Warrant Exercise Right exercised. Any excess payments received, including payments for Elected Over-Subscription Shares a Holder requested to purchase pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege but which were not allocated to such Holder, will be returned, without interest, promptly following the settlement date for issuances of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege.

 

Exercise Price and Adjustments

 

The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $47.50 per share. Subject to certain excluded transactions, the Warrants provide for adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants following a number of corporate events, including (i) our issuance of a stock dividend or the subdivision or combination of our Common Stock, (ii) our issuance of rights, options or Warrants to purchase our Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration at less than the market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the announcement date of the issuance, (iii) a distribution of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary other than our Common Stock, rights to acquire such capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets, (iv) our issuance of a cash dividend on our Common Stock, (v) certain tender offers for our Common Stock by the Company or one or more of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and (vi) adjustments in the Board’s discretion, subject to certain notice requirements. The Warrants also provide for adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable following our issuance of a stock dividend or the subdivision or combination of our Common Stock.

 

Business Combination or Reclassification of Common Stock

 

If, at any time Warrants are outstanding there is: (i) any business combination (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) or (ii) reclassifications of our Common Stock (other than as contemplated above), the right to exercise a Warrant for our Common Stock shall be converted into the right to exercise a Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such business combination or reclassification) upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such business combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such business combination or reclassification.

 

Manner of Exercise

 

The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each Warrant holder, in whole or in part by delivering to the Warrant Agent a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Warrants are exercisable for cash only.

 

Transferability of Warrants; Listing

 

The Warrants may be sold, transferred or assigned, in whole or in part. We have applied for listing the Warrants on the NYSE American and expect trading to commence on or around April 30, 2025, under the symbol “MPTI WS.” The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “MPTI.”

 

Fractional Shares

 

Warrants may be exercised only for whole numbers of shares of our Common Stock. Whenever any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole share.

 

Rights as a Stockholder

 

Until Warrant holders acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, Warrant holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our Common Stock underlying such Warrants. Upon the acquisition of shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a Common Stockholder only as to matters for which the Record Date for the matter occurs after the exercise date of the Warrants.

 

Settlement

 

All exercises of Warrants (including pursuant to any exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege) that are fulfilled will be settled as soon as practicable following the Over-Subscription Deadline. No Warrants (including those Warrants subject to the Over-Subscription Privilege) shall be exercised after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Over-Subscription Deadline. Holders may not receive such shares within the typical two (2) business day settlement after exercise of their Warrants (or the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege). The Company reserves the right to the change the settlement mechanics, and timing of settlement, as needed.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

The following discussion is a general summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Company’s stockholders of the receipt of Warrants in the Warrant Distribution and the ownership, exercise, and disposition of Warrants received in the Warrant Distribution. This discussion is limited to stockholders that are U.S. holders (as defined below) and that hold their shares of Common Stock as, and will hold Warrants as, capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

 

This discussion is based on the Code, applicable Treasury regulations, judicial authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address any tax consequences to stockholders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as tax-exempt entities, partnerships (including entities treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes), persons who acquired their Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, financial institutions, insurance companies, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, dealers or traders in securities, persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, and persons who hold their Common Stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, synthetic security, integrated investment, or other risk-reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not address any U.S. federal estate, gift, or other non-income tax consequences or any state, local, or foreign tax consequences, nor does it address the tax imposed on “net investment income” pursuant to Section 1411 of the Code. No ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to the tax consequences summarized below.

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Stock receiving Warrants in the Warrant Distribution that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States;

 

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

 

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or• a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (ii) it has a valid election in place under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner, member, or other beneficial owner of such partnership or other pass-through entity generally will depend upon the status of the partner, member, or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership or other pass-through entity, and certain determinations made at the partner, member, or other beneficial owner level. A partner, member, or other beneficial owner of a partnership or other pass-through entity holding Common Stock should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Warrant Distribution.

 

Tax Consequences of the Warrant Distribution

 

The Warrant Distribution is intended to be treated as a non-taxable distribution under Section 305(a) of the Code. If, however, the Warrant Distribution were treated as a distribution subject to Section 305(b) of the Code, a U.S. holder would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as receiving a distribution equal to the fair market value of the Warrants received in the Warrant Distribution. In such case, the Warrant Distribution generally would be taxable as a dividend to the extent paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Warrant Distribution will be treated as a non-taxable distribution under Section 305(a) of the Code.

 

S-16

 

Tax Basis and Holding Period in the Warrants

 

Except as provided in the following sentence, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Warrants received in the Warrant Distribution will be zero. However, a U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in its Common Stock will be allocated between such Common Stock and the Warrants received in the Warrant Distribution in proportion to their respective fair market values on the date of the Warrant Distribution if either (i) the fair market value of the Warrants received by the U.S. holder is equal to at least 15% of the fair market value of the Common Stock with respect to which such Warrants are received, or (ii) the U.S. holder irrevocably elects, on its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Warrant Distribution occurs, to allocate a portion of its tax basis in its Common Stock to the Warrants received in the Warrant Distribution.

 

The fair market value of the Warrants on the date of the Warrant Distribution is uncertain, and we have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, an appraisal of that fair market value. In determining the fair market value of the Warrants, you should consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including any difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the trading price of our Common Stock on the date of the Warrant Distribution, the length of the period during which the Warrants may be exercised and the fact that Warrants are transferable.

 

The holding period of the Warrants received by a U.S. holder in the Warrant Distribution generally will include the holding period of the Common Stock with respect to which such Warrants are received.

 

Possible Constructive Distributions

 

The number of shares of Common Stock that a U.S. holder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of a Warrant and the Exercise Price of the Warrant are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. Certain of these adjustments (including adjustments as a result of a taxable distribution to holders of Common Stock) could cause a U.S. holder to be deemed to receive a “constructive distribution” that is includible in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility of constructive distributions with respect to the Warrants and the consequences thereof.

 

Lapse of a Warrant

 

A U.S. holder will not recognize gain or loss with respect to a Warrant received in the Warrant Distribution upon the failure to exercise such Warrant prior to expiration. If a Warrant expires unexercised, any portion of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Common Stock that was previously allocated to such Warrant, as described above, generally will be allocated back to such Common Stock. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the ability to recognize a loss (if any) with respect to Warrants that expire unexercised after a disposition of the Common Stock with respect to which the Warrants were received.

 

Exercise of a Warrant

 

The exercise of a Warrant received in the Warrant Distribution generally will not be a taxable event to a U.S. holder. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of a Warrant generally will equal the exercise price of the Warrant plus the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Warrant (if any). The holding period of the Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of a Warrant generally will begin on the date of exercise of such Warrant.

 

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of a Warrant

 

A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Warrant equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Warrant (if any). Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Warrant disposed of (determined as described above) exceeds one year. For non-corporate taxpayers, long-term capital gains generally are eligible for preferential U.S. federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

THE COMPANY

General

 

The Company is engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of highly engineered, high reliability frequency and spectrum control products used to control the frequency or timing of signals in electronic circuits in various applications. The Company’s primary markets are aerospace and defense, space and avionics.

 

Our component-level devices and integrated modules are used extensively in electronic systems for applications in aerospace and defense, avionics, satellites, global positioning systems, down-hole drilling, medical systems, instrumentation, and industrial devices. As an engineering-centric company, MPTI provides close support to the customer throughout its products’ entire life cycles, including product design, prototyping, production and subsequent product upgrades and maintenance. This collaborative approach has resulted in the development and growth of long-standing business relationships with its customers.

 

All of the Company’s production facilities in the U.S. and India are ISO 9001:2015 certified. U.S. production facilities in Orlando, Florida and Yankton, South Dakota are International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) registered and AS9100 Rev D certified and our Yankton, South Dakota production facility is MIL-STD-790 certified. MPTI’s production facility in India operates under a Manufacturing License Agreement (“MLA”) issued by the U.S. Department of State.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our objective is to deliver long-term earnings growth to our stockholders and maximize stockholder value. MPTI employs a market-based approach of designing and offering new products to its customers through both organic research and development, and through strategic partnerships, joint ventures, acquisitions, or mergers. We seek to leverage our core strength as an engineering leader to expand client access, add new capabilities and continue to diversify our product offerings. We believe that successful execution of this strategy will lead to a transformation of our product portfolio towards multi-component integrated offerings, longer product life cycles, better margins and an improved competitive position.

 

Business Segment

 

The Company conducts its business through one business segment: Electronic Components, which includes all products manufactured and sold by MPTI.

 

Products

 

MPTI’s portfolio is divided into three product groupings, Frequency Control, Spectrum Control and Integrated Microwave Assemblies, and has expanded from primarily crystal-based components to include higher levels of integration, advanced materials science, cavity-based products, and various types of compensation methods employing integrated circuits and other methods to create products geared for applications that require high reliability in harsh environments. These products are differentiated by their precise level of accuracy, stability over time and within harsh environments, and very low phase noise.

 

Frequency Control

MPTI’s Frequency Control product group includes a broad portfolio of quartz crystal resonators, clock oscillators, voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (“VCXO”), temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (“TCXO”), oven-controlled crystal oscillator (“OCXO”) and temperature-compensated voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (“TCVCXO”) devices which meet some of the tightest specifications, including Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (“IEEE”) 1588 standards. These devices may be based on quartz, quartz micro-electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) or advanced materials science designed to achieve higher performance levels than quartz. MPTI's products offer high reliability over a wide temperature range and are well-suited for harsh environments, including shock and vibration-resistant oscillators with low-g sensitivity. These products are designed for applications within aerospace and defense, avionics, and industrial markets.

 

Spectrum Control

MPTI’s Spectrum Control product group includes a wide array of radio frequency (“RF”), microwave and millimeter wave filters and diplexers covering a frequency range from 1 MHz to 30 GHz, and solid-state power amplifiers covering a frequency range from 300 MHz to 26 GHz, with power output from 10 Watts to 10kW. Filter devices include crystal, ceramic, LC, planar, combline, cavity, interdigital and metal insert waveguide, as well as switched filter arrays and RF subsystems. Power amplifiers add active devices to MPTI's portfolio and include gallium nitride (“GaN”), gallium arsenide (“GaAS”) field-effect transistors (“FET”), laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductors (“LDMOS”) and chip and wire technologies in narrow or broadband, module or rack-mounted packages. These products are employed in applications within the commercial and military aerospace and defense, space, avionics, and industrial markets.

 

Integrated Microwave Assembly

MPTI’s Integrated Microwave Assembly (“IMA”) product group brings over 55 years of expert crystal, filter and oscillator design experience to our Custom Multi-Functional Modules (“MFM”) and Integrated Microwave Assemblies. Spanning frequencies from 10MHz to 50GHz, components such as filters, low noise amplifiers, couplers, attenuators, switches, circulators, oscillators, multipliers, phase lock loops, mixers, digitally tuned oscillators, voltage-controlled oscillators, and phase shifters, all with associated control circuitry, are integrated into one exceptional Size, Weight and Power at a competitive Cost (“SWaP-C”) assembly. Design, assembly, test and integration along with component design and manufacturing is done at MPTI’s AS9100 D operations. These products are designed for both extreme aerospace and defense and avionics as well as industrial markets.

 

New product development continues to be a key focus for MPTI as we continue to push our roadmap to meet the needs of our served markets. Within the Frequency Control product group, design efforts are focused on smaller packages, lower power, lower phase noise and use of new materials to provide compensation and harsh environment performance that surpasses customer requirements. The Spectrum Control product group seeks to develop higher power handling and higher frequency along with higher levels of integration and a range of integrated products within the RF subsystem. The IMA product group designs and develops solutions using the same circuit, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal, and stress analysis tools as our customers, which allows MPTI’s MFM and IMA design synthesis to be effortlessly integrated into the customer’s system synthesis at early stages in the development process. This design collaboration essentially makes MPTI’s design team an extension of the customer, so our customer’s resources can focus on their areas of expertise, resulting in a shortened design cycle and a faster time to market. The IMA product group also reviews all build-to-print opportunities, utilizing all our in-house assembly and test capabilities to competitively bid this service.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which:

 

25,000,000 shares are designated as Common Stock; and
 

5,000,000 shares are designated as Preferred Stock.

 

As of January 31, 2025, there were 2,911,165 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

The following summary description of our capital stock is not necessarily complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Charter and Bylaws, each of which have been filed with the SEC, as well as applicable provisions of Delaware law. 

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights

The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under the Charter, the Company’s stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

 

Dividend Rights

Subject to preferences that may apply to any then-outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) out of legally available funds. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Liquidation Rights

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of the Company’s debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Other Rights

The outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights, and the Common Stock is not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock we may issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Under the Charter, the Board may, without further action by the Company’s stockholders, fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and authorize their issuance. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, preemptive rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of Common Stock. Any issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders would receive dividend payments.

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Under Section 203, a “business combination” includes the following:

 

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

 

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

 

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. The Company has not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of the Company may be discouraged or prevented.

 

Charter and Bylaws

Among other things, the Company’s Charter and Bylaws:

 

permit the Board to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as the Board may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change of control;

 

provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board;

 

provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director;

 

provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by (i) the chairperson of the Board, (ii) the chief executive officer or (iii) a majority vote of the Board, and by the secretary upon written request of stockholders representing at least 25% of all votes entitled to be voted on the matter to be voted on; and

 

do not provide for cumulative voting rights, therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.

 

The amendment of any of these provisions would require approval by the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the Company’s then-outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

The combination of these provisions will make it more difficult for the Company’s existing stockholders to replace the Board as well as for another party to obtain control of the Company by replacing the Board. Since the Board has the power to retain and discharge the Company’s officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated Preferred Stock makes it possible for the Board to issue Preferred Stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change the control of the Company.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Board and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce the Company’s vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for the Company’s shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in the Company’s control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s stock.

Exclusive Forum Provision

 

The Charter contains an exclusive forum provision which provides that, unless the Board consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over an action or proceeding, then another court of the State of Delaware or, if no court of the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, then the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for “Covered Proceedings,” which include: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s current or former directors, officers, employees, agents and stockholders to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws; and (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. To the extent within the categories set forth in the preceding sentence, Covered Proceedings include causes of action under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The exclusive forum provision also provides that if any Covered Proceeding is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware in the name of any stockholder, then such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the exclusive forum provision and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the action as agent for such stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision of the Company’s Charter will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

 

The exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees or be cost-prohibitive to stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees. However, there is uncertainty regarding whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

 

The Bylaws provide that the Company must indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The Company is also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for its directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. The Company maintains customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Board. These agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding as a result of their services to the Company, cover procedures for advancement of legal fees, include provisions as to the manner of indemnification entitlement determinations and require the Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance. The Company believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

 

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Charter and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuits against directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the investments of stockholders may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

To the extent the Company’s directors and officers are indemnified against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, whether under the provisions contained in the Charter or Bylaws, pursuant to Delaware law or by other contractual arrangements providing for indemnification which the Company may enter into from time to time, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

The following is a general description of the terms of the warrants we may issue from time to time. Particular terms of any warrants we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such warrants, as well as any warrant agreement that contains the terms of the warrants.

 

We may issue warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock or depositary shares. Such warrants may be issued in one or more series, independently or together with shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or other equity securities and may be attached or separate from such securities. We may issue warrants directly or under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. We will name any warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of a particular series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement and the applicable warrant agreement relating to any warrants offer will include the particular terms of any series of warrants that we may issue, including a description of any other securities sold together with the warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

 

General

 

We may issue depositary shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest of a share of a particular class or series of our Preferred Stock, as specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement which will more fully describe the terms of those depositary shares. Shares of a class or series of Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement among us, the depositary named therein and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts issued by the depositary which will evidence the depositary shares. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary receipt will be entitled, in proportion to the fractional interest of a share of a particular class or series of Preferred Stock represented by the depositary shares evidenced by that depositary receipt, to all the rights and preferences of the class or series of Preferred Stock represented by those depositary shares (including dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights).

 

The depositary shares to be issued will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the applicable deposit agreement. Immediately following the issuance and delivery of a class or series of Preferred Stock by us to the depositary, we will cause the depositary to issue, on our behalf, the depositary receipts. The following description of the depositary shares, and any description of the depositary shares in an accompanying prospectus supplement, may not be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the underlying deposit agreement and the depositary receipt, which we will file with the SEC at or prior to the time of the sale of the depositary shares. You should refer to, and read this summary together with, the deposit agreement and related depositary receipt. You can obtain copies of any form of deposit agreement or other agreement pursuant to which the depositary shares are issued by following the directions described under the caption “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

Dividends and Other Distributions

 

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of our Preferred Stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to such Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of such depositary shares owned by such holders. The depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any holder of depositary shares a fraction of one cent, and the balance not so distributed shall be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary shares.

 

In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled thereto, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such distribution, in which case the depositary may, with our approval, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to such holders.

 

The deposit agreement will also contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights offered by us to holders of our Preferred Stock shall be made available to the holders of depositary shares.

 

Redemption of Depositary Shares

 

If a class or series of Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of such class or series of Preferred Stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to such class or series of Preferred Stock. Whenever we redeem shares of Preferred Stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing the shares of Preferred Stock so redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the depositary.

 

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares so called for redemption will no longer be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the money, securities or other property payable upon such redemption and any money, securities or other property to which the holders of such depositary shares were entitled upon such redemption upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing such depositary shares.

 

Voting our Preferred Stock

 

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to such Preferred Stock. Each record holder of such depositary shares on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for our Preferred Stock) will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Preferred Stock represented by such holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the amount of Preferred Stock represented by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions, and we will agree to take all action which may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary may abstain from voting shares of Preferred Stock to the extent it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing such Preferred Stock.

 

 

12

 

Record Date

 

Subject to the provisions of the deposit agreement, whenever:

 

any cash dividend or other cash distribution becomes payable;

 

any distribution other than cash is made;

 

any rights, preferences or privileges are offered with respect to the Preferred Stock;

 

the depositary receives notice of any meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to notice; or

 

the depositary receives notice of the mandatory conversion of or any election by us to call for the redemption of any Preferred Stock, the depositary will in each instance fix a record date, which will be the same as the record date for the Preferred Stock, for the determination of the holders of depositary receipts:

 

o

who will be entitled to receive dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of any sale, or

 

o

who will be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of the meeting or the redemption or conversion.

 

Withdrawal of Preferred Stock

 

Upon surrender of depositary receipts at the principal office of the depositary, upon payment of any unpaid amount due the depositary, and subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, the owner of the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipts is entitled to delivery of the number of whole shares of Preferred Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented by the depositary shares. Partial shares of Preferred Stock will not be issued. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. Holders of Preferred Stock that are withdrawn will not be entitled to deposit the shares that have been withdrawn under the deposit agreement or to receive depositary receipts.

 

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

 

The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may at any time be amended by agreement between the depositary and us. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless such amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. The deposit agreement may be terminated by us or the depositary only if (i) all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or (ii) there has been a final distribution in respect of our preferred stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution has been distributed to the holders of depositary receipts.

 

Charges of Depositary

 

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of our Preferred Stock and any redemption of our Preferred Stock. Holders of depositary receipts will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges, including a fee for the withdrawal of shares of Preferred Stock upon surrender of depositary receipts, as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

 

Miscellaneous

 

Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if either of us is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond our control in performing any obligations under the deposit agreement. The obligations of the depositary under the deposit agreement are limited to performing its duties under the agreement without negligence or bad faith. Our obligations under the deposit agreement are limited to performing our duties in good faith. Neither we nor the depositary is obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or Preferred Stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary may rely on advice of or information from counsel, accountants or other persons that they believe to be competent and on documents that they believe to be genuine.

 

The depositary may resign at any time or be removed by us, effective upon the acceptance by its successor of its appointment. If we have not appointed a successor depositary and the successor depositary has not accepted its appointment within 60 days after the depositary delivered a resignation notice to us, the depositary may terminate the deposit agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

 

We may issue subscription rights to purchase one or more series or classes of Common Stock, Preferred Stock and depositary shares. We may issue subscription rights independently or together with any other offered security. Such subscription rights or other offered security may or may not be transferable by the stockholder. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

 

The accompanying prospectus supplement relating to any subscription rights we may offer will contain the specific terms of the subscription rights. These terms may include the following:

 

the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

 

the exercise price payable for Common Stock, Preferred Stock or depositary shares upon the exercise of the subscription rights;

 

the number of subscription rights issued to each security holder;

 

the number and terms of the Common Stock, Preferred Stock or depositary shares which may be purchased per each subscription right;

 

the extent to which the subscription rights are transferable;

 

any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the subscription rights or the exercise price of the subscription rights;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The description in the accompanying prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable subscription rights certificate or subscription rights agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of any subscription rights certificate or subscription rights agreement if we offer subscription rights, see “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. We urge you to read the applicable subscription rights certificate, the applicable subscription rights agreement and any accompanying prospectus supplement in their entirety.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units comprised of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, warrants, depositary shares, or any combination thereof. Units may be issued in one or more series, independently or together with Common Stock, Preferred Stock, warrants, or depositary shares, and the units may be attached to or separate from such securities. We may issue units directly or under a unit agreement to be entered into between us and a unit agent. We will name any unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any unit agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the units of a particular series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of units. Below is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the units that we may offer. Particular terms of the units will be described in the applicable unit agreements and the applicable prospectus supplement for the units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date. We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

 

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material provisions of the units and the unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Capital Stock” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or warrant included in each unit, respectively. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including the following:

 

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

 

any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described in this section; and

 

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

 

 

15

 

BOOK ENTRY PROCEDURES AND SETTLEMENT

 

We may issue the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus in certificated or book-entry form or in the form of one or more global securities. The accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the manner in which the securities offered thereby will be issued.

 

 

16

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Offering and Sale of Securities

 

Unless otherwise set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement to this prospectus, we may sell the securities being offered hereby, from time to time, in one or more offerings, on a continuous or delayed basis, by one or more of the following methods:

 

to or through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters;

 

through one or more underwriters without a syndicate for them to offer and sell to the public;

 

to or through dealers, brokers, placement agents or other agents;

 

to investors directly in negotiated sales or in competitively bid transactions, on a continuous or delayed basis; and

 

in “at-the-market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise.

 

One or more prospectus supplements will describe the terms of the offering of the respective securities, including:

 

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers, placement agents or other agents, if any;

 

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

 

any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

 

any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

 

any public offering price;

 

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

at fixed prices which may be changed;

 

at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale;

 

at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

 

at negotiated prices; or

 

at prices determined by an auction process.

 

Each prospectus supplement will set forth the manner and terms of the offering of the respective securities including:

 

the number and terms of the securities to which such prospectus relates;

 

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers, placement agents or other agents with whom we have entered into arrangements with respect to the sale of such securities;

 

whether any dealer is to act in the capacity of a sub-underwriter and is to be allowed or paid any additional discounts or commissions for acting in such capacity;

 

any delayed delivery arrangements;

 

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;

 

the rules and procedures for any auction or bidding process, if used;

 

the public offering or purchase price of such securities and the net proceeds we will receive from such sale; and

 

any other applicable terms of the offering.

 

If we do not name a firm in the prospectus supplement, the firm may not directly or indirectly participate in any underwriting of those securities, although it may participate in the distribution of securities under circumstances entitling it to a dealer’s allowance or agent’s commission. We may also enter into derivative transactions with third parties or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the related prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the related prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

 

Sales Through Underwriters

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell them from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities of the series offered by the prospectus supplement. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts or concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. The underwriters may engage in stabilizing and syndicate covering transactions in accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, and such transactions may be discontinued at any time by the underwriters. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

 

 

17

 

Sales Through Agents

 

We may sell securities directly or through agents that we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities, and we will describe any commissions that we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

Securities bought in accordance with a redemption or repayment under their terms also may be offered and sold, if so indicated in the accompanying prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing by one or more firms acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified, and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities remarketed by them. If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to purchase securities at a price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date specified in the prospectus supplement. These contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commissions payable for solicitation of these contracts.

 

Direct Sales

 

We may solicit offers to purchase securities directly from the public from time to time. We may also authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions that we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

 

General Information

 

We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, if we enter into any material arrangement with a broker, dealer, agent or underwriter for the sale of securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer. Such prospectus supplement will disclose:

 

the name of any participating underwriter, broker, dealer, placement agent or other agent;

 

the number and type of securities involved;

 

any securities exchanges on which such securities may be listed;

 

the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker, dealer, agent or underwriter where applicable;

 

a description of any indemnification rights to which underwriters, brokers, dealers, placement agents or other agents are entitled; and

 

other facts material to the transaction.

 

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to such liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

Our common stock trades on NYSE American under the symbol “MPTI.” All securities that we offer, other than our common stock will be new issues of securities with no established trading market, and may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange, quotation system or over-the-counter market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any securities sold by us.

 

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price in accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Short covering transactions also may be effected through a partial or full over-allotment exercise granted to them by us. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

 

Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the NYSE American may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on the NYSE American in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering and before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

 

We may sell the securities in exchange in whole or part for consideration other than cash. This consideration may consist of services or products, whether tangible or intangible, and including services or products we may use in our business; outstanding debt or equity securities of our company or one or more of its subsidiaries; debt or equity securities or assets of other companies, including in connection with investments, joint ventures or other strategic transactions, or acquisitions; release of claims or settlement of disputes; and satisfaction of obligations, including obligations to make payments to distributors or other suppliers and payment of interest on outstanding obligations. We may sell the securities as part of a transaction in which outstanding debt or equity securities of our company or one or more of our subsidiaries are surrendered, converted, exercised, canceled or transferred.

 

Some of the underwriters, dealers and agents and their affiliates may engage in transactions with or perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters have from time to time in the past provided, and may from time to time in the future provide, investment banking services to us for which they have in the past received, and in the future may receive, customary fees.
