Common Stock . We may issue shares of our common stock from time to time. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors an d on all other matters that require stockholder approval. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in the as sets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding preferr ed stock. Our common stock does not carry any redemption rights or any preemptive rights enabling a holder to subscribe for, or receive shares of, any class of our common stock or any other securities convertible into shares of any class of our common stoc k. Any such issuance of common stock may cause the dilution of our existing outstanding equity securities.

Preferred Stock. We may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series. Under our certificate of incorporation, our boa rd of directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to designate up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and restrictions granted to or imposed u pon the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preference and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock.

If we issue preferr ed stock, we will fix the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series that we sell under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplements in the certificate of designations relating to that se ries. If we issue preferred stock, we will incorporate by reference into the r egistration s tatement of which this prospectus is a part the form of any certificate of designations that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering bef ore the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. We urge you to read the prospectus supplement related to any series of preferred stock we may offer, as well as the complete certificate of designations that contains the terms of the applicable se ries of preferred stock. Any issuance of our preferred stock may cause the dilution of our existing outstanding equity securities.

Debt Securities . We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt .

The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner describ ed in the instrument governing the debt, to all or some portion of our indebtedness.  Additionally, we may issue common and/or preferred stock from time to time.  Any such issuance of equity securities may cause the dilution of our existing outstanding equ ity securities. 


If we issue debt securities, they will be issued under one or more documents called indentures, which are contracts between us and a trustee for the holders of the debt securities. If we issue preferred stock, it will be issued pursuant t o a certificate of designation of the rights and preferences of such securities, to the extent and in the manner described in such document.  We urge you to read the prospectus supplement related to the series of debt securities or equity securities being offered, as the case may be, as well as the complete indenture that contains the terms of the debt securities (which will include a supplemental indenture) and the complete preferred stock certif icate of designation, if any.  If we issue debt securities, i ndentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of debt securities being offered will be incorporated by reference into the r egistration s tatement of which this prospectus is a part from reports we have filed or would subsequently file with the SEC. Similarly, if we issue preferred stock, the certificate of designation containing the terms of such preferred stock being offered will be incorporated by reference into the r egistration s tatement of which this prospectus is a part from reports we wou ld subsequently file with the SEC. 

In this prospectus, when we use the terms “AMERCO,” the “Company,” “the combined company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” we mean AMERCO and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise .

ABOUT AMERCO

 

We believe we are North America’s largest “do-it-yourself” moving and storage operator through our subsidiary U-Haul International, Inc. (“U-Haul”). U-Haul is synonymous with “do-it-yourself” moving and storage and is a leader in supplying products and services to help people move and store their household and commercial goods. Our primary service objective is to provide a better and better product or service to more and more people at a lower and lower cost .

We were founded in 1945 as a sole proprietorship under the nam e “U-Haul Trailer Rental Company” and have rented trailers ever since. Starting in 1959, we rented trucks on a one-way and in-town basis exclusively through independent U-Haul dealers. In 1974, we began developing our network of U-Haul managed retail store s, through which we rent our trucks and trailers, self-storage rooms and portable moving and storage units and sell moving and self-storage products and services to complement our independent dealer network.

We rent our distinctive orange and white U-Haul trucks and trailers as well as offer self-storage rooms through a network of approximately 1, 70 0 Company operated retail moving store s and approximately 1 9 , 5 00 independent U-Haul dealers.   We also sell U-Haul brand boxes, tape and other moving and self-storage products and services to “do-it-yourself” moving and storage customers at all of our distribution outlets and through our uhaul.com and eMove website.   Another extension of our strategy to make “do-it-yo urself” moving and storage easier is our U-Box ® program.   A U-Box portable moving and storage unit is delivered to a location of our customer’s choosing either by the customers themselves through the use of a U-Box trailer or by Company personnel. Once the U-Box portable moving and storage unit is filled, it can be stored at the customer’s location, or taken to any of our C ompany operated locations, a participating independent dealer, or moved to a location of the customer’s choice.


We believe U-Haul is the most convenient supplier of products and services addressing the needs of North America’s “do-it-yourself” moving and storage market. Our broad geographic coverage throughout the United States and Canada and our extensive selection of U-Haul brand moving equipment rentals, self-storage rooms , portable moving and storage units and related moving and storage products and services provide our customers with convenient “one-stop” shopping.

Through Repwest Insurance Company (“Repwest”) and ARCOA Risk Retention Group (“ARCOA”) , our property and casualty insurance subsidiar ies , we manage the property, liability and related insurance claims processing for U-Haul. Oxford Life Insurance Company (“ Oxford ”), our life insurance subsidiary , sells Medicare supplement insu rance , life insurance, annuities an d other related products to the senior market .

 

We are a publicly traded Nevada corporation.     Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “UHAL.”   Our principal executive offices are loca ted at 5555 Kietzke Lane , Suite 100, Reno, Nevada 895 11 . Our telephone number is (775) 688-6300, and our website address is amerco.com .     Information contained in or linked to our website is not a part of this prospectus.

 

You can get more information regar ding our business by reading our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other reports and information that we file with the SEC.     See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

RISK FACTORS

 

Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, i n light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. This prospectus and the incorporated documents also conta in forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned elsewhere in this prospe ctus.


NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” regarding future events and our future results of operations. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in fili ngs with the SEC or otherwise. We believe such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements may include, but a re not limited to, estimates of capital expenditures, plans for future operations, products or services, financing needs and plans, our perceptions of our legal positions and pending litigation against us, the adequacy of our liquidity, our goals and strat egies, and plans for new business, our access to capital and leasing markets, the impact of our compliance with environmental laws and cleanup costs, projections of capital expenditures and our used vehicle disposition strategy, the sources and availabilit y of funds for our rental equipment and self-storage expansion and replacement strategies and plans, our plan to expand our U-Haul storage affiliate program, that additional leverage can be supported by our operations and business, the availability of alte rnative vehicle manufacturers, our estimates of the residual values of our equipment fleet, our plans with respect to off-balance sheet arrangements, our plans to continue to invest in the U-Box program, the impact of interest rate and foreign currency exc hange rate changes on our operations, the benefits of our cap i tal structure, the sufficiency of our capital resources and the sufficiency of capital of our insurance subsidiaries as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words “believe,” “expec t,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “estimate,” “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and unc ertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Factors that could significantly affect results include, without limitation, the degree and nature of our competition; our leverage; general economic conditions; fluctuations in our costs to main tain and update our fleet and facilities; the limited number of manufacturers that supply our rental trucks; our ability to effectively hedge our variable interest rate debt; that a substantial amout of our shares are owned by a small contingent of stockho lders; risks relating to our notes receivable from SAC Holding; fluctuations in quarterly results and seasonality; changes in, and our compliance with, government regulations, particularly environmental regulations and regulations relating to motor carrier operations; our reliance on our third party dealer network; liability claims relating to our rental vehicles and equipment; our ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; reliance on our automated systems and the internet; our insurance financ ial strength ratings; our ability to recover under reinsurance arrangements and other factors described in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K , our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the other documents we file with the SEC. T he above factors, the following disclosures, as well as other statements in this prospectus and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, could contribute to or cause such risks or uncertainties, or could cause our stock price to fluctuate dra matically. Consequently, the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as representations or warranties by the Company that such matters will be realized. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, unforeseen events, changed circumstances or otherwise , except as required by law .


You should carefully consider the trends, risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and other information in this prospectus and reports filed with the SEC before making any investment decision with respect to the notes. If any of the trends, risks or uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus actually occurs or continues, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary stateme nt.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

We may offer shares of our common stock and preferred stock and various series of debt securities from time to time under this prospectus at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of offering.   Each time we offer a type or series of securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and other important terms of such securities.     The debt securities will be unsecured or secured by certain assets o wned by us or certain of our subsidiaries or third parties.

A prospectus supplement will describe the specific types, amounts, prices and detailed terms of any of these securities.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net pr oceeds from the sale of our securities offered hereby.  Except as described in any prospectus supplement, we currently anticipate using the net proceeds from the sale of our securities offered hereby primarily for general corporate purposes.

  Pending the u se of the net proceeds, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term marketable securities.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

 

Set forth below is our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended September 30, 201 6 and for each year in the five year period ended March 31, 201 6 .  Earnings consist of earnings before interest expense and lease expense.  Fixed charges consist of interest expense and an estimate of the portion of lease expense related to the interest com ponent.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more offerings.  Registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities will necessarily be offered or sold.

We may sell the sec urities separately or together:

  • through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them;

 

  • through agents; or

 

  • directly to investors.

 

We will set forth the terms of the offering of any securities being offered in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we utilize underwriters in an offering of securities using this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agre ement with those underwriters.     The underwriting agreement will provide that the obligations of the underwriters with respect to a sale of the offered securities are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will be obligated to pur chase all the offered securities if any are purchased.     Underwriters may sell those securities to or through dealers.     The underwriters may change any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re - allowed or paid to dealers f rom time to time.     If we utilize underwriters in an offering of securities using this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement will contain a statement regarding the intention, if any, of the underwriters to make a market in the offered securities.

  If we utilize a dealer in an offering of securities using this prospectus, we will sell the offered securities to the dealer, as principal.     The dealer may then resell those securities to the public at a fixed price or at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

We may also use this prospectus to offer and sell securities through agents designated by us from time to time.     Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a reasonable efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may offer to sell securities either at a fixed price or at prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.     We m ay also use this prospectus to directly solicit offers to purchase securities.     Except as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, none of our directors, officers, or employees nor those of our subsidiaries will solicit or receive a commission in connection with those direct sales.     Those persons may respond to inquiries by potential purchasers and perform ministerial and clerical work in connection with direct sales.


We may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to solicit offers by certain i nstitutions to purchase securities pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date specified in the prospectus supplement.     Institutions with which delayed delivery contracts may be made include commercial and sav ings banks, insurance companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions that we may approve.     The obligations of any purchaser under any delayed delivery contract will not be subject to any conditions except that any related sale of offered securities to underwriters shall have occurred and the purchase by an institution of the securities covered by its delayed delivery contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which that institution is subject.

Underwriters, dealers or agents participating in a distribution of securities by use of this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the offered securities, whether received from us or from purchasers of offered securities for whom they act as agent, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Under agreements that we may enter into, underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of securities by use of this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabiliti es, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments that those underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make.

Underwriters, dealers, agents or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transaction s with, or perform services for, us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received or will receive customary compens ation.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by DLA Piper LLP (US).     If counsel for any underwriter, dealer or agent passes on legal matters in connection with an offering made by this prospectus, we will name that counsel in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Nevada General Corporation Law requires AMERCO to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any off icer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or o fficer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and such indemnification is authorized by th e stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of AMERCO eliminate personal liability of directors and officers, to AMERCO or its stockholders, for damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors or officers, except for liability (i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) for the unlawful payment of dividends. In addition, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of AMERCO provide that AMERCO shall indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, any person


made, or threatened to be made, a defendant in any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she was a director or officer of AMERCO so long as such person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada General Corporation Law or acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of AMERCO, and, with r espect to criminal actions or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. AMERCO has also executed indemnification agreements that provide that certain of AMERCO’s directors and officers shall be indemnified and held harmless by AMERCO to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or the Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of AMERCO. The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the of ficer’s or director’s acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law. The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides th at indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.

 

Item 16. Exhibits.

 

The information set forth in the Exhibit Index immedi ately following the signature pages to this Registration Statement in Form S-3 is incorporated by reference into this Item 16. Certain exhibits are incorporated by reference from documents previously filed by the Company with the SEC as required by Item 60 1 of RegulationS-K.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 


(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of di stribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided , however , that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective ame ndment 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 o f a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

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

 

(i) 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 (ii) 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 Securiti es 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 describe d 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 reg istration 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 prio r 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.

 


(5) that, for the purp ose of determining liability of the registrant 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 pur suant 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 wi ll 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 m aterial 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) that , for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, a nd the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(7) that, (i) 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 state ment as of the time it was declared effective; and (ii) 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 relat ing 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.

 


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to d irectors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is again st public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, office r 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 opinio n of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: AMERCO - Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the r egis tration statement on Form S-3 (as amended or supplemented , the “ Registration Statement ”) by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on January 13, 2017.  The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to R ule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), of an indeterminate amount and aggregate offering price of the Company’s:

  1. common stock, par value $0.25 per share (the “ Common Stock ”);
  2. preferred stock, no par value per share, (the “ Preferred Stock ”); and

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Secretary of AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), and have served as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the r egis tration statement on Form S-3 (as amended or supplemented, the “ Registration S tatement ”) by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on January 13, 2017, with respect to the issuance and sale from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), of an indeterminate amount and aggregate offering price of the Company’s:

(a) common stock, par value $0.25 per share (the “ Common Stock ”);
 

(b) preferred stock, no par value per share, (the “ Preferred Stock ”); and
 

(c) debt securities (the “ Debt Securities ”).

Collectively, the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock and the Debt Securities are referred to herein as the “ Securities .

 

In providing this opinion, I have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials and from officers and other representatives of the Company. I have been advised by the Company and, for purposes of this opinion, have assumed, that:

1. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation privileges of each series of Preferred Stock will be set forth in a certificate of designation to be approved by the Company’s board of directors, or in an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “ Articles of Incorporation ”), to be approved by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders, and that one or both of these documents will be filed either as an exhibit to an amendment to the Registration Statement to be filed after the date of this opinion or as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed after the Registration Statement has become effective;

 

2. The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (the “ Trustee ”), a form of which has been (i) filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement and (ii) qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;

 

3. The particular terms of any Debt Securities to be issued will be set forth in a supplement to the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement; and

 

 

 


4. The number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to be offered and sold subsequent to the date hereof under the Registration Statement, together with the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the same class issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Securities will not, in the aggregate, exceed the number of shares of each such class of Common Stock or Preferred Stock authorized in the Articles of Incorporation.

As the Company’s counsel, I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.   Upon the basis of such examination, I advise you of the following opinions :

1. The Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, assuming that (i) the Company’s board of directors or an authorized committee thereof will have specifically authorized the issuance of such Common Stock in exchange for consideration that the board of directors or such committee determines as adequate and in excess of the par value of such Common Stock (“ Common Stock Authorizing Resolutions ”), and (ii) the Company has received the consideration provided for in the applicable Common Stock Authorizing Resolutions.

 

2. The Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, assuming that (i) the Company’s board of directors or an authorized committee thereof will have specifically authorized the issuance of such Preferred Stock in exchange for consideration that the board of directors or such committee determines as adequate and in excess of the par value of such Preferred Stock (“ Preferred Stock Authorizing Resolutions ”), (ii) the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Preferred Stock have been established in conformity with applicable law, (iii) an appropriate certificate of designation approved by the Company’s board of directors, or an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation approved by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders, has been filed with the State of Nevada, (iv) the terms of the offer, issuance and sale of shares of such class or series of Preferred Stock have been duly established in conformity with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (the “ Bylaws ”), and do not violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, and (v) the Company has received the consideration provided for in the applicable Preferred Stock Authorizing Resolutions.

 

3. The Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, assuming that (i) the Company’s board of directors or an authorized committee thereof will have specifically authorized the issuance of such Debt Securities in exchange for consideration that the board of directors or such committee determines as adequate (“ Debt Securities Authorizing Resolutions ”), (ii) the applicable indenture conforms with applicable law and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, (iii) the terms of the Debt Securities and of their issue and sale have been duly established in conformity with the applicable indenture, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Debt Securities Authorizing Resolutions and do

 

 


not violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company, and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, (iv) such Debt Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the applicable indenture and offered, issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, and (v) the Company has received the consideration provided for in the applicable Debt Securities Authorizing Resolutions.

The foregoing opinions are qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any document, instrument or the Securities may be limited by or subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable or public policy principles. 

The foregoing opinions are l imited to the laws of the State of Nevada, and I am expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section   7 of the Act.
