EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 27, 2020, Tuesday Morning Corporation (“Tuesday Morning” or the “Company”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with Tuesday Morning, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (“Bankruptcy Court”).
On December 23, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Confirming the Revised Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Tuesday Morning Corporation, et al. Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed Tuesday Morning’s Revised Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan of Reorganization”).
On December 31, 2020, the Plan of Reorganization became effective and the Debtors emerged from their Chapter 11 cases. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 4, 2021, was exchanged for (1) one new share of the Company’s Common Stock and (2) a share purchase right entitling the holder to purchase its pro rata portion of shares available to eligible holders in a $40 million rights offering (the “Rights Offering”). In the Rights Offering, eligible holders of the Company’s Common Stock were authorized to purchase up to $24 million of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.10 per share, and the selling stockholder was authorized to purchase up to $16 million of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.10 per share. Pursuant to a backstop commitment agreement, the selling stockholder agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares in the Rights Offering (the “Backstop Commitment”).
On February 9, 2021, the Company completed the Rights Offering. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company issued 18,023,226 shares of Common Stock to eligible holders (the “Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares”) and 18,340,411 shares of Common Stock to the selling stockholder (the “Backstop Party Rights Offering Shares”). In addition, as consideration for providing the Backstop Commitment, the Company issued to the selling stockholder 1,818,182 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Backstop Commitment Shares”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $1.65 per share with a five year term (the “Warrant Shares”). Following the completion of these transactions on February 9, 2021, the Company had 86,145,304 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
On February 9, 2021, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the offer and resale of the Backstop Party Rights Offering Shares, the Backstop Commitment Shares and the Warrant Shares. The selling stockholder has customary demand, underwritten offering and piggyback registration rights, subject to the limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions with respect to blackout periods and indemnification.
Unless otherwise noted or suggested by context, all financial information and data and accompanying financial statements and corresponding notes, as of and prior to February 9, 2021, the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization for accounting purposes (the “Effective Date”), as contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference, reflect the actual historical consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Tuesday Morning for the periods presented and do not give effect to the Plan of Reorganization or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, such financial information may not be representative of our performance or financial condition after the Effective Date. Except with respect to such historical financial information and data and accompanying financial statements and corresponding notes or as otherwise noted or suggested by the context, all other information contained in this prospectus relates to the Company following the Effective Date.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary description about us and our business highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before making an investment decision. Important information is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. To understand this offering fully, you should read carefully the entire prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein, including “Risk Factors.”
References herein to the “Company,” “Tuesday Morning,” “us,” “our,” “we,” or similar expressions are intended to refer to Tuesday Morning Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Our Company
One of the original off-price retailers, Tuesday Morning is a leading destination for unique home and lifestyle goods. We were established in 1974 and specialize in name-brand, better/best products for the home.
We are an off-price retailer, selling high-quality products at prices generally below those found in boutique, specialty and department stores, catalogs and on-line retailers. Our customers come to us for an ever-changing, exceptional assortment of brand names at great prices. Our primary merchandise categories are upscale home textiles, home furnishings, housewares, gourmet food, pet supplies, bath and body products, toys and seasonal décor. We buy our inventory opportunistically from a variety of sources, including direct from manufacturer, through closeout sellers and occasionally other retailers. We have strong supplier relationships and we strive to make it easy for our vendors to do business with us, so that they will come to us first.
Our customer is a savvy shopper with a discerning taste for quality at a value. Our strong value proposition has established a loyal customer base, who we engage regularly through social media, email, direct mail, digital media and newspaper circulars.
With 490 stores across the United States as of March 31, 2021, we are in the neighborhood in convenient, accessible locations. Our store layout is clean and simple, and the low-frills environment means we can pass even deeper savings on to our dedicated customer base. Our stores operate in both primary and secondary locations of major suburban markets, near our middle and upper-income customers. We generally are able to obtain favorable lease terms due to our flexibility regarding site selection and our straightforward format, allowing us to use a wide variety of space configurations.
We operate our business as a single operating segment.
Risk Factors
Investing in our Common Stock involves substantial risk. In evaluating an investment in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or amendment, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and our other filings with the SEC that are incorporated into this prospectus. If any of the risks were to actually occur, they may materially harm our business and our financial condition and results of operations. The described risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation. In that event, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose some or all of your investment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Common Stock involves substantial risk. In addition to the factors described below, you should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, and in particular, the risks described under the heading “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and our other filings with the SEC that are incorporated into this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should consider these risks as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Sales of our Common Stock by existing stockholders, or the perception that these sales may occur, especially by directors or significant stockholders of the Company, may cause our stock price to decline.
If our existing stockholders, in particular our directors or other affiliates, sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or are perceived by the public market as intending to sell, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline. In addition, sales of these shares of Common Stock could impair our ability to raise capital, should we wish to do so. Up to 30,158,593 shares of our Common Stock may be sold pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholder, which represent approximately 31.4% of our outstanding Common Stock as of May 18, 2021 (assuming the Warrant had been exercised in full as of such date). We cannot predict the timing or amount of future sales of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder, but such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock.
Our Common Stock is subject to ownership and transfer restrictions intended to preserve our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
We have incurred significant net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, the amount and availability of which are subject to certain qualifications, limitations and uncertainties. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation imposes certain restrictions on the transferability and ownership of our Common Stock in order to reduce the possibility of an equity ownership shift that could result in limitations on our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes from prior years for federal income tax purposes. Any acquisition or sale of our common stock results in a stockholder being in violation of these restrictions may not be valid.
Subject to certain exceptions, these ownership restrictions restrict (i) any transfer that would result in any person acquiring 4.5% or more of our Common Stock, (ii) any transfer that would result in an increase of the ownership percentage of any person already owning 4.5% or more of our Common Stock, or (iii) any transfer during the five-year period following December 31, 2020 that would result in a decrease of the ownership percentage of any person already owning 4.5% or more of our Common Stock. These restrictions will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor statute if the board of directors determines these restrictions are no longer necessary for preservation of the Company’s tax benefits, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year in which the board of directors determines no tax benefits may be carried forward, or (iii) such other date as shall be established by the board of directors. See “Description of Common Stock — Ownership Restrictions to Preserve Tax Attributes” for additional information.
You are advised to carefully monitor your ownership of our Common Stock and consult your legal advisors to determine whether your ownership of our Common Stock violates the ownership restrictions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
We recently emerged from bankruptcy, which could adversely affect our business and relationships.
It is possible that our having filed for bankruptcy and our recent emergence from the bankruptcy could adversely affect our business and relationships with customers, vendors, employees, service providers and suppliers. Due to uncertainties, many risks exist, including the following:

vendors or other contract counterparties could terminate their relationship or require financial assurances or enhanced performance;

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

the ability to renew existing contracts may be adversely affected;

the ability to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and employees may be adversely affected;

employees may be distracted from performance of their duties or more easily attracted to other employment opportunities; and

competitors may take business away from us, and our ability to attract and retain customers may be negatively impacted.
The occurrence of one or more of these events could adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition and reputation. We cannot assure you that having been subject to bankruptcy protection will not adversely affect our operations in the future.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus covers the offering for resale of up to an aggregate of 30,158,593 shares of Common Stock that may be offered and sold from time to time under this prospectus by the selling stockholder identified below, subject to any appropriate adjustment as a result of any stock dividend, stock split or distribution, or in connection with a combination of shares, and any security into which such shares of Common Stock shall have been converted or exchanged in connection with a recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, exchange, distribution or otherwise.
Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “selling stockholder” includes the selling stockholder named in the table below (including the entities referenced in the footnotes to the the table) and its partners, pledgees, donnees (including charitable organizations), transferees or other successors-in-interest selling or distributions shares received from the selling stockholder as a partnership distribution, pledge, gift, or other transfer after the date of this prospectus, and any such persons will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The selling stockholder acquired 20,158,593 of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby on February 9, 2021 in connection with the Rights Offering. The selling stockholder may acquire the additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Warrant issued to the selling stockholder on February 9, 2021. On February 9, 2021, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the selling stockholder pursuant to which we were obligated to prepare and file a registration statement to permit the resale of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.
We have prepared the table, the paragraph immediately following this paragraph, and the related notes based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder, and such information is as of May 13, 2021. We have not sought to verify such information. We believe, based on information supplied by the selling stockholder, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, the selling stockholder has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by them. Because the selling stockholder identified in the table may sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them which are included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares of Common Stock, we have assumed for purposes of the table below, that the selling stockholder will dispose of all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus and will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares. In addition, the selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Common Stock it holds in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the selling stockholder provided the information set forth on the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the selling stockholder will sell all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it that is covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholder is not obligated to sell any of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus. The percent of beneficial ownership for the selling stockholder is based on (i) 86,194,528 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 13, 2021, plus (ii) the additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur may adversely affect market prices of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity or equity-related securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate. This may adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. See “Risk Factors — Sales of our Common Stock by existing stockholders, or the perception that these sales may occur, especially by directors or significant stockholders of the Company, may cause our stock price to decline.”
Upon the completion of this offering, all of our outstanding shares will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined under Rule 144, including our directors, executive officers and other affiliates (including our existing stockholders), may be sold only in compliance with the limitations described below.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to be or have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of a prior owner other than an affiliate, then such person is entitled to sell such shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling shares of our common stock on behalf of our affiliates, are entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 961,545 shares immediately after this offering; or

the average reported weekly trading volume of our common stock on the OTCQX during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.
Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. The sale of these shares, or the perception that sales will be made, could adversely affect the price of our common stock after this offering because a great supply of shares would be, or would be perceived to be, available for sale in the public market.
We are unable to estimate the number of shares that will be sold under Rule 144 since this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the stockholder and other factors.
Registration Statements on Form S-8
We have filed registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of our Common Stock and securities exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our equity incentive compensation plans. Our equity compensation plans include the 2008 Tuesday Morning Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2014 Tuesday Morning Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, as well as inducement awards to be issued to our chief executive officer. These plans together provide for the issuance of approximately 2.4 million shares of our Common Stock. The shares registered under these registration statements are available for sale in the open market.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Sales or distributions of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholder, or by its partners, pledgees, donees (including charitable organizations), transferees or other successors in interest, may from time to time be offered for sale either directly by such individual, or through underwriters, dealers or agents or on any exchange on which Common Stock may from time to time be traded, in the over-the-counter market, or in independently negotiated transactions or otherwise. The methods by which the shares of Common Stock may be sold include:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares of Common Stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as agent on both sides of the trade;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

any exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

the pledge of shares of Common Stock for any loan or obligation;

directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately negotiated transactions;

through the writing or settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which the prospectus will form a part;

through distribution by the selling stockholder or its successor in interest to its members, general or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners, beneficiaries or shareholders);

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares of Common Stock at a stipulated price per share;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an option exchange or otherwise;

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholder also may sell shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration, in each case if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Such transactions may be effected by the selling stockholder at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may effect such transactions by selling the securities to underwriters or to or through broker-dealers, and such underwriters or broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts or commissions from the selling stockholder and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent.
If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the shares for their own account. The underwriters may resell the shares in one or more transactions, at a fixed price or varying prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
The shares may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the shares offered if any of the shares are purchased.
The selling stockholder may sell the shares through agents or dealers designated by them. Any agent or dealer involved in the offer or sale or distribution of the shares for which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable to that agent or dealer by the selling shareholders will be set forth, in a prospectus supplement. Unless indicated in the prospectus supplement, the agents will agree to use their
 
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment and any dealer will purchase the shares from the selling shareholder as principal and may resell those shares at varying prices to be determined by the dealer. The selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of its shares of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents.
The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares of Common Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to register the shares of Common Stock for sale under the Securities Act and to indemnify the selling stockholder and each person who participates as an underwriter in the offering of the shares of Common Stock against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
In connection with sales of the securities under this prospectus, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, who may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder also may sell securities short and deliver them to close their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the selling stockholder has been advised that it may not use the shares of Common Stock registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to cover short sales of shares of Common Stock made prior to the date the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC.
The selling stockholder and any underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any profit on sale of the securities by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any underwriter, dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a prospectus supplement amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus.
There can be no assurances that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the securities offered under this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The authorized capital stock of Tuesday Morning Corporation currently consists of 210,000,000 shares, of which (1) 200,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, $.01 par value per share; and (2) 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, $.01 par value. As of May 18, 2021, there were 86,194,528 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
The following summary description of Tuesday Morning’s capital stock is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to Tuesday Morning’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on any matter submitted to the holders of common stock for a vote and do not have cumulative voting rights. All shares of common stock outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock and any restrictions that may be imposed by any lender to Tuesday Morning, holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Tuesday Morning, holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably, based on the number of shares held, in the assets, if any, remaining after payment of all of Tuesday Morning’s debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. The shares of common stock are neither redeemable nor convertible, and the holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of capital stock issued by Tuesday Morning.
Preferred Stock
Tuesday Morning’s certificate of incorporation authorizes its board of directors, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without shareholder approval. Each such series of preferred stock will have such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as will be determined by the board of directors. The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a shareholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of Tuesday Morning’s outstanding voting stock.
Delaware Takeover Statute
Tuesday Morning is not subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an interested shareholder for three years following the date of the transaction on which an interested shareholder became such, unless the interested shareholder attained such status with the approval of the board of directors or the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner, or certain other conditions are satisfied. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an interested shareholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.
Directors
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Board of Directors of the Company was established as of December 31, 2020 with a membership consisting of nine directors, which included five continuing directors of the Company, the three new Osmium Directors appointed by the Osmium Group, and one new director appointed by the equity committee (the “EC Director”) in the Company’s bankruptcy case. Under the terms
 
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
of the Directors Agreement, the Osmium Group will be entitled to appoint one additional director if the Company fails to meet certain financial standards set forth in the Directors Agreement. Pursuant to the Directors Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take all necessary actions to nominate the Osmium Directors for election at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. The Directors Agreement includes certain standstill provisions applicable to the Osmium Group that remain in effect until the first day to submit stockholder director nominations for the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, including, but not limited to, certain limitations on the acquisition of Common Stock, engaging in proxy solicitations and seeking to submit nominations in furtherance of a contested solicitation for the election or removal of directors with respect to the Company. The terms of the Directors Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.35, are incorporated herein by reference.
Directors elected by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. All directors will be in one class and serve for a term ending at the annual meeting following the annual meeting at which the director was elected or, if later, the date their successor is elected.
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that we will indemnify officers and directors against losses that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to the Company, which may include services in connection with takeover defense measures.
Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws May Impact a Change of Control
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:

the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of our common stock and preferred stock without stockholder approval;

a requirement that stockholder meetings may only be called by our President, Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board or at the written request of a majority of the directors then in office and not our stockholders;

a prohibition of cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;

the ability of our Board of Directors to make, alter or repeal our bylaws without further stockholder approval;

the requirement for advance notice for nominations for directors to our Board of Directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings; and

the restrictions on transfer of our common stock described below under “Ownership Restrictions to Preserve Tax Attributes.”
Ownership Restrictions to Preserve Tax Attributes
Through the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s prior certificate of incorporation was amended by (1) increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100 million shares to 200 million shares, (2) adding a provision restricting the issuance of non-voting equity securities as required by Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (3) adding a provision designed to assist the Company in preserving certain tax attributes (the “Tax Benefits”), as discussed below.
In order to continue to assist the Company in preserving certain tax attributes (the “Tax Benefits”), the Company’s certificate of incorporation imposes certain restrictions on the transferability and ownership of
 
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
the Company’s capital stock (the “Ownership Restrictions”). Subject to certain exceptions, the Ownership Restrictions restrict (i) any transfer that would result in any person acquiring 4.5% or more of our Common Stock, (ii) any transfer that would result in an increase of the ownership percentage of any person already owning 4.5% or more of our Common Stock, or (iii) any transfer during the five-year period following December 31, 2020 that would result in a decrease of the ownership percentage of any person already owning 4.5% or more of our Common Stock. Pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, any transferee receiving shares of our Common Stock that would result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions will not be recognized as a stockholder of the Company or entitled to any rights of stockholders. The Company’s certificate of incorporation allows the Ownership Restrictions to be waived by the Company’s board of directors on a case by case basis. The board of directors has taken action to waive the restrictions with respect to sales of shares acquired in the Rights Offering by the Backstop Party.
The Ownership Restrictions will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor statute if the board of directors determines the Ownership Restrictions are no longer necessary for preservation of the Tax Benefits, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year in which the board of directors determines no Tax Benefits may be carried forward, or (iii) such other date as shall be established by the board of directors.

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock is Computershare, Inc. Its address is 250 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021, and its telephone number at this location is (877) 268-3016.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL also provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.
Article Eight of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of
 
II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
fiduciary duty as a director. Article Eight of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator, or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or any predecessor of the Registrant, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Registrant or any predecessor to the Registrant.
Article V of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provides, among other things, that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in (whether as a primary party, a witness or otherwise) any pending, threatened or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, legislative or otherwise, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding)), and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, subject to certain exceptions, the Registrant, shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Registrant. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall, subject to certain exceptions, include advancement of expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
Article V of the Bylaws also provides that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Registrant or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Article V of the Bylaws.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its executive officers. The Registrant has also entered into a form of the indemnification agreement with each of its directors. The indemnification agreement supplements and clarifies existing indemnification provisions of the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and, in general, provides for indemnification to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreement also establishes processes and procedures for indemnification claims, advancement of expenses and costs and other determinations with respect to indemnification.
The Registrant also maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against certain losses resulting from certain acts committed by them in their capacities as directors and officers of the Registrant.
Item 15.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On December 31, 2020, the Registrant’s Revised Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan of Reorganization”) became effective and the Registrant emerged from its Chapter 11 case. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, at the close of business on January 4, 2021, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was exchanged for (1) one new share of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) and (2) a share purchase right entitling the holder to purchase its pro rata portion of shares available to eligible holders in a $40 million rights offering (the “Rights Offering”). In the Rights Offering, eligible holders of the Company’s common stock were authorized to purchase up to $24 million of shares of the Company’s common stock a purchase price of $1.10 per share, and Osmium Partners (Larkspur SPV), LP (the “Backstop Party”) was authorized to

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
purchase up to $16 million of shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.10 per share. Pursuant to a backstop commitment agreement, the Backstop Party agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares in the Rights Offering (the “Backstop Commitment”).
On February 9, 2021, the Company completed the Rights Offering. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company issued 18,023,226 shares of common stock to eligible holders (the “Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares”) and 18,340,411 shares of common stock to the Backstop Party (the “Backstop Party Rights Offering Shares”), in each case at a purchase price $1.10 per share. In addition, as consideration for providing the Backstop Commitment, the Company issued to the Backstop Party 1,818,182 additional shares (the “Commitment Shares”) of common stock and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.65 per share (the “Warrant Shares”). Following the completion of these transactions on February 9, 2021, the Company had 86,145,304 shares of common stock outstanding.
The Exchange Shares and the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Backstop Party Rights Offering Shares, the Commitment Shares and the Warrant were issued under the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) 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;
(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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that is part of this registration statement.
(b) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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;
(c) 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;
(d) that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 43 OB or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to

such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 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, 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 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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; and
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as your special counsel in connection with the filing by Tuesday Morning Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the registration pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 30,158,593 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be offered and resold from time to time by selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such instruments, certificates, records and documents, and have reviewed such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have relied upon the aforesaid instruments, certificates, records and documents and inquiries of the Company’s representatives.

 

Based upon the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The opinion set forth herein is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the related provisions of the Delaware Constitution. We are not opining as to any other laws of the State of Delaware (including, but not limited to, “blue sky” or other state securities laws) or as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, as originally filed or as subsequently amended. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

  Very truly yours,
