Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors, officers, employees and agents. The person entitled to indemnification must have conducted himself in good faith, and must reasonably believe that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he has met the standards for indemnification and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined that such officer or director did not meet those standards.

Our bylaws include an indemnification provision under which we have the power to indemnify, to the extent permitted under Nevada law, our current and former directors and officers, or any person who serves or served at our request for our benefit as a director or officer of another corporation or our representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred by reason of being or having been a director, officer or representative of ours or any of our subsidiaries. We may make advances for expenses upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by us. If Section 2115 of the CGCL is applicable to us, the laws of California also will govern.

Our articles of incorporation provide a limitation of liability such that no director or officer shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, involving any act or omission of any such director or officer, provided there was no intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or payment of dividends in violation of NRS Section 78.300.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers which would require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers of regarding which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification. We also maintain insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ours under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

Malaysian Financings

On April 3, 2009, WaferGen Bio-systems, Inc. (“WBSI”) and our Malaysian subsidiary, WaferGen Biosystems (M) Sdn. Bhd. (“WGBM”) entered into a subscription agreement with two investors pursuant to which WGBM agreed to sell 666,666 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preference Shares (“Series B RCPS”) to these investors in a private placement at a price of US$2.25 per share. On July 1, 2009, WBSI and WGBM entered into a subscription agreement with another investor pursuant to which WGBM agreed to sell 188,057 shares of Series B RCPS to another investor under substantially the same terms. The aggregate purchase price for the Series B RCPS is US$1.9 million, all of which was received between June 8, 2009, and May 13, 2010.

The Series B RCPS (the “RCPS”) have a liquidation preference over WGBM’s ordinary shares in an amount equal to the purchase price of the RCPS, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. WGBM is not obligated to declare or pay dividends on the RCPS. Holders of the RCPS generally will not have voting rights, except as required under Malaysian law. WGBM will be required to obtain the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding RCPS prior to taking certain actions. Each RCPS will be convertible into ordinary shares of WGBM at the option of the holder at any time based on the applicable conversion rate at such time.

The holders of the RCPS have the right, at any time after December 31, 2011, to cause WGBM to redeem the RCPS at a price equal to the purchase price of the RCPS, plus a redemption premium of 20% per annum, from funds legally available for distribution. The holders of the RCPS also have certain put rights with respect to their shares as follows: (1) the holders will have the right to cause WBSI to exchange their RCPS for common stock of WBSI at an effective exchange rate of US$223.63 per share of WBSI common stock, provided that if during the 10-day trading period immediately prior to the holder’s conversion notice the average closing price of WBSI’s common stock is less than US$263.09, then the holder’s Series B RCPS shall convert at an exchange rate equal to 85% of such 10-day average closing price; (2) the holders had the right to cause WBSI to purchase all of the RCPS at a price of US$2.25 per share, plus interest at a rate of 8% per annum with yearly rests, if (x) there was a breach of the subscription agreement by WBSI or WGBM or (y) during the year 2011, the price of WBSI’s stock was below US$223.63 or the holder was unable to exercise its put as described in clause (1) above as a result of any breach or default of the subscription agreement by WBSI.

On March 10, 2011, WGBM received $5,000,000, less issuance costs totaling $6,272, in exchange for the issuance of 3,233,734 Series C Convertible Preference Shares (“CPS”) to MTDC, in a private placement at the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1.5462 per share, representing the first subscription under a Share Subscription Agreement dated December 14, 2010, (“SSA”) to sell 3,233,734 Series C CPS at an initial closing and, should MTDC so elect within 36 months of the initial closing, to sell 1,077,911 shares of Series C CPS at a subsequent closing at the U.S. dollar equivalent of US$2.3193 per share. Each 99.39 Series C CPS will convert into one share of WBSI’s common stock on the anniversary of each closing, or at any earlier date MTDC’s option. MTDC may also elect to convert their Series C CPS into ordinary shares of our subsidiary, WGBM, at any time, at a conversion rate of one ordinary share per 100 CPS.

The proceeds from the private placements have been or will be used to support the high-volume manufacturing of our SmartChip System.

May 2011 Private Placement

On May 27, 2011, we sold 2,937,500 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $15,275,000 convertible at $56.65 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 565,180 shares of common stock in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $30,550,000. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants were exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $61.62 per share. The warrants were due to expire on May 27, 2016, five years after the issuance date, and under certain circumstances were exercisable using cashless exercise. Under registration rights agreements entered in connection with the sale of the units, the purchasers were entitled “piggyback” registration rights.

The purchasers included The Shivji Family Trust (an affiliate of Alnoor Shivji, our Chairman and, at the time of the purchase, also our President and Chief Executive Officer), Joel Kanter, a member of our board of directors, The Kanter Family Foundation (“The Kanter Foundation,” which is an affiliate of Joel Kanter) and Robert Coradini, a member of our board of directors at the time of the purchase.

The securities sold in the Malaysian Financings, the December 2009 Private Placement, the May 2011 Private Placement and the 2013 Private Placement and those issued in the August 2013 Exchange were not, prior to their issuance, registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) or Regulation S under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

All financial statement schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Exhibits

A list of exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference is contained in the Exhibit Index which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

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

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


 
II-4

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) if the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: (A) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and (B) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii) if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by  such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(7) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(8) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
