OUR COMPANY

 

 

Overview

 

MAM Software Group, Inc. is a leading provider of cloud-based business and on premise management solutions for the auto parts, tires and vertical distribution industries. We have a broad line of software solutions and services to address the information technology ("IT") needs of virtually every significant sector of the automotive aftermarket in the United Kingdom ("UK") and Ireland (collectively referred to as the “UK Market”) and North America (“NA”), which includes the United States ("US") and Canada, and are seeking to leverage this position into new industry verticals.

 

MAM NA has two primary software solutions, VAST and Autopart. We have and continue to market and develop business management software solutions that manage both the business and supply chain for small- and medium-sized firms in the automotive aftermarket. The automotive aftermarket includes those businesses that supply servicing, parts, oil, tires, and performance extras to the retail market.

 

Our revenues and income are derived primarily from the sale of business management software, data, ecommerce solutions and services and support. For MAM UK, we also earn a percentage of our revenue and income from the sale of hardware systems to clients.  In the year ended June 30, 2016, 71% of our revenues came from the UK Market.

 

We are headquartered in Tankersley, Barnsley, UK and maintain additional offices for our NA operations in Blue Bell and Allentown, Pennsylvania, and, for our UK Market operations, in Northampton and Wareham. The software that we sell is Microsoft Windows™ based technology. The four main products that we support in the US cover all of the components of the automotive aftermarket supply chain. First is “warehouse distribution.” Into this market we sell our Autopart product to new prospects.  Autopart enables large warehouses with hundreds of thousands of stock-keeping units ("SKU") to locate, manage, pack and deliver the parts with ease and efficiency. Second, these parts are distributed to the next business in the chain, which is the “jobber.” Into this market segment we also sell our Autopart product, which manages a jobber’s business (i.e., financial, stock control and order management) but more importantly enables the jobber to quickly identify the parts that the jobber’s client needs, either via the Internet or telephone, so that the correct product for the vehicle on the ramp can be supplied. The third and next segment of the automotive aftermarket supply chain is the “installer,” which repairs and maintains automobiles. The installer needs systems that enable it to efficiently and simply manage his businesses, whether as a single entity or national multi-site franchise. Into this segment we sell VAST and Autowork Online. The fourth segment is “OpenWebs™.” This technology allows these separate business solutions to connect to each other to allow, among other processes, ordering, invoicing and stock checking to take place in real- time both up and down the supply chain. The UK Market differs from that of the US in that it does not have the same number of large warehouse distribution centers. In the UK Market we sell the Autopart product to the jobber market, but sell Autowork Online to the installer market. In the UK, we also sell our catalog solution, Autocat+, which is an Internet-based identification tool used by the warehouse distribution, jobber and installer.

 

Current Products and Services

 

Meeting the needs of the automotive aftermarket requires offering a combination of business management systems, information products and online services that combine to deliver benefits for all parties involved in the timely repair of a vehicle. Our products and services include:

 

 

Business management systems comprised of our proprietary software applications, implementation and training and third-party hardware and peripherals;

 

 

Information products such as an accessible catalog database related to parts, tires, labor estimates, scheduled maintenance, repair information, technical service bulletins, pricing and product features and benefits, which are used by the different participants in the automotive aftermarket;

 

 
P-2

 

 

 

Online services and products that connect manufacturers, warehouse distributors, retailers and automotive service providers via the Internet. These products enable electronic data interchange throughout the automotive aftermarket supply chain among the different trading partners. They also enable procurement and business services to be projected over the Internet to an expanded business audience. Some clients use our information products on their own websites and intranets and some clients use our systems and branded software to obtain relevant and up-to-date information via the Internet; and

 

 

Customer support and consulting services that provide phone and online support, implementation and training.

 

  Need for Technology Solutions

 

A variety of factors drive the automotive market’s need for sophisticated technology solutions, including the following:

 

Inventory Management

 

Industry sources suggest that approximately 35% of parts produced are never sold and 30% of parts stocked are never sold. Approximately 25% of parts sold are eventually returned due to insufficient knowledge or capability by either the parts supplier counterman or the auto service provider installer. Clearly, there is substantial inefficiency in the automotive aftermarket supply chain. This inefficiency results in excess inventory carrying costs, logistical costs and the over-production of parts and tires at the manufacturer level. The combination of business systems software, information products, and connectivity services we offer can assist in overcoming these inefficiencies.

 

Competition

 

In the US, the need for technology solutions has been accelerated by the expansion of large specialty parts retailers such as AutoZone, Inc. and Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and large auto service chains like Monro, Muffler and Brake, Inc. This expansion has driven smaller competitors to computerize or upgrade their existing systems with more modern business management solutions enabled for information products and online services. Many of the systems used by smaller competitors today are older, character-based or systems developed in-house that have a limited ability to integrate current information products and online services.

 

Volume and Complexity of Information

 

Businesses in the automotive aftermarket manage large volumes of information from numerous sources with complex inter-relationships. There are over 4.5 million different SKUs available to parts sellers in the product catalogs used by the US automotive aftermarket. The number of SKUs increase in the order of approximately 5% each year. Moreover, manufacturers update product information and product prices with increasing frequency as they improve their internal processing and try to keep pace with consumer trends. As a result, most automotive aftermarket businesses require sophisticated inventory management systems, accurate and timely information on parts, tires, and repair delivered through online services to communicate, manage and present this volume of data effectively.

 

Customer Service Requirements

 

Consumer demand for same-day repair service and the need to maintain efficient use of repair bays, forces automotive service providers to demand prompt and accurate delivery of specific parts and tires from their suppliers. Getting the required product promptly depends on all the parties having access to timely information about product price and availability. To meet these demanding customer service requirements successfully, automotive aftermarket participants need business management systems, product information and online services that enable workers to reliably and accurately transact their business between warehouse distributors, parts stores and automotive service providers.

 

 
P-3

 

 

Regional Efficiencies

 

The use and availability of a combination of business management systems, information products and online services has resulted in the development of regional trading networks among auto service provider chains, stores and warehouse distributors of parts and tires. This enables participants to achieve the efficiencies and customer service levels that are critical to being competitive and successful against the larger retail and service chains in the automotive aftermarket.

 

Plans for Growth

 

 We expect growth in the automotive aftermarket will continue to be driven by:

 

   

gradual growth in the aggregate number of vehicles in use;

 

 

an increase in the average age of vehicles in operation;

 

 

growth in the total number of miles driven per vehicle per year; and

 

 

increased vehicle complexity.

 

We see opportunities to expand the breadth of our customer base within the automotive industry and diversify into new industries with similarly complex needs. We offer tailored business management and distribution software to the wholesale distributor market of the automotive industry. We have also started to expand and diversify our client and product mix in the UK Market to serve the lumber and hardware industries, which we believe have an unmet need for the efficiency offered by our suite of business software solutions and services. Our growth plans include adapting and updating our software products to serve other vertical markets as well as through potential acquisitions. While we have identified these vertical markets for potential growth for our software, our top execution priority remains automotive projects.

 

To date, our management has identified five areas of focus to drive our business.  The first area is the continued growth of SaaS revenues derived from delivering our business management software via the ‘cloud’.  At present, most of our customers have our software installed in-house.  However, market acceptance of cloud computing for mission critical enterprise applications has become increasingly common in recent years since software can be delivered cost-effectively, reliably, and securely to businesses over the Internet without the need for these businesses to purchase supporting software and hardware for an on-premise system or the need to keep information technology personnel on staff to monitor and upgrade such a system. 

 

We introduced our first subscription-based service solution over the Internet in 2005 in the UK Market, and we began marketing our first cloud system to customers in North America in 2013. Since that time, we have significantly expanded our cloud-based offerings and are offering customers that maintain in-house installations significant incentives to move to our cloud-computing model. While transitioning our MAM UK customers to a cloud computing model results in a decrease in our up-front revenue recognition, we believe that this is a necessary transition and is in the best interests of our customers and our own long-term business prospects as an increasing number of our customers are looking for solutions that are highly functional, easy to use, configurable, and fast.

 

To date, Autowork Online, our "installer" solution in the UK Market, and Autopart Online, our parts store solution, are being delivered in this way.  Both products have been developed under the 'cloud' computing model.  This is where software solutions are made available to end-users via the Internet and does not require them to purchase the software directly, but 'rent' it over a fixed period of time.  We believe that this will be a growing area in the UK and NA Markets as businesses continue to look for ways of reducing capital expenditures while maintaining levels of service.

 

Autowork Online was launched in 2010 and as of September 30, 2016 we had 2,902 customers subscribing to this service.  A white label version of this product, which is our product rebranded by a different company, has been successfully launched into the NA Market in conjunction with ALLDATA LLC. Autopart Online was launched in August 2011 in the UK Market and in 2014 in the NA Market.  As of September 30, 2016, we had 3,405 end users subscribing to this service.

 

 
P-4

 

 

We have been developing VAST Online, the 'cloud' version of our VAST platform, which we expect to launch in the second half of fiscal year 2017.  We have been working with Goodyear to deliver a version of VAST Online that will be their next generation point of sale 'cloud' solution.  Following the successful rollout of VAST Online to the Goodyear network, MAM NA will promote the product to the wider NA Market and also in the UK Market.

 

The second area of focus is the sales and marketing strategy within the NA Market. MAM NA business will continue to invest in sales and marketing activity to help further expand the MAM brand and build our pipeline in the NA Market.

 

The third area of focus relates to the launch of our information service, Autocat+, an electronic auto parts catalog that uses the DaaS distribution model.  MAM centrally hosts and maintains the data, which is accessed by users via MAM's business management software, a standalone desktop application, or web application.  Data can also be 'consumed' via a web service for integration into B2C websites.  Information in Autocat+ is maintained through an automatic verification and standardization process, with updates published daily.

 

In the UK Market, there are approximately 10,000 end-users (warehouse distributors, parts stores, and auto service providers) of our information products, to whom a monthly or annual subscription fee is charged. Our management believes that launching a version of Autocat+ in the NA Market will boost sales of our related business management software solutions.

 

The fourth area of focus is to sustain levels of growth in MAM UK by concentrating on vertical markets, which share common issues to that of the automotive market. We have developed a reputation of high levels of service and knowledge within the automotive market, and we are now working on replicating this reputation in these additional vertical markets. 

 

The fifth area of focus is the continued investment in research and development that allows us to deliver innovative new solutions and modules in the four prior areas of focus. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we introduced a number of enhancements to our existing products which created additional value for existing and prospective customers.

 

Additional Vertical Markets: Plumbing Merchants, Electrical Wholesalers, Builders Merchants and Lumber Merchants

 

We believe that construction-related businesses would benefit from the business management and distribution systems developed by MAM for its customers in the automotive aftermarket. We already have over 80 clients in the UK Market operating in the plumbing, building, lumber, and electrical wholesale distribution markets that are using a derivative of MAM's Autopart product, known as “Trader.” We originally moved the Autopart product into these additional vertical markets a number of years ago after being approached by companies operating within these vertical markets that could not find a suitable management solution. To date, these additional vertical markets have made only a limited contribution to the revenues of MAM Ltd.

 

We have been promoting the “Trader” product to these markets, specifically targeting small and medium sized businesses with revenues of between $500,000 and $10 million. We are, and intend to continue, promoting Trader through a number of channels, direct marketing, advertorials and trade shows. We are also looking to raise awareness of the Trader product by placing advertisements in trade journals and will continue to look to have articles and editorial reviews written about the product and its advantages for those operating within these markets. We have also been targeting small and medium sized businesses within these vertical markets with direct mail pieces such as product fliers, and case studies from the small client base we have in this market. These have then been followed up by MAM’s existing internal sales team to generate qualified leads for the external sales representatives.

 

Given the current opportunities in the automotive market, and the resources required to ensure the successful development and launch of several major projects, exploring additional vertical markets has been a lower strategic priority during the year ended June 30, 2016.  We will continue to monitor the market and generate a reasonable amount of new interest in this area.  During the year ended June 30, 2017, we expect this area of our business to be a greater part of our strategic discussions; however, at this time, we remain focused on executing on our present and near-term project commitments.

 

 
P-5

 

 

Strategic Goals

 

We are looking to increase our share of the NA Market by (i) increasing the sales and marketing presence of our Autopart product, (ii) focusing on the tire and service and repair sector of the market (iii) and establishing Autocat and OpenWebs™ as the e-commerce standard within the Automotive market. In the UK Market we expect to continue to grow our market share through (i) moving our business management software into new vertical markets and (ii) increasing our footprint within the automotive aftermarket.

 

We believe that our successful experience within the automotive market will translate well into other vertical markets that have similarly complex supply chains. By developing specific sales teams with relevant market experience and supporting with them suitable marketing collateral, we believe that over time “Trader” can become an established product offering in these vertical markets. We plan, at this stage, to focus only on the UK Market for these additional vertical market opportunities.

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business faces many risks and an investment in our common stock involves significant risks. Prospective investors are strongly encouraged to consider carefully the risks described below, as well as other information contained herein, before investing. Investors are further advised that the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also negatively impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in this section occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. Prospective investors in our common stock should consider the following risks before deciding whether to purchase shares of common stock.

 

Risks Related to MAM and Our Business

 

We may fail to address risks we face as a growing business,   which could adversely affect the implementation of our business plan.

 

We are prone to all of the risks inherent in growing a business.  You should consider the likelihood of our future success to be highly speculative in light of the limited resources, problems, expenses, risks and complications frequently encountered by entities at our current stage of development.

 

To address these risks, we must, among other things:

 

 

implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy;

 

 

continue to develop new products and upgrade our existing products;

 

 

respond to industry and competitive developments;

 

 

attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel; and

 

 

obtain equity and debt financing on satisfactory terms and in timely fashion in amounts adequate to implement our business plan and meet our obligations.

 

We may not be successful in addressing these risks and if we do not, our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

 

Global market disruptions may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Recent disruptions in the current global credit and financial markets have included diminished liquidity and credit availability, a decline in economic growth and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that there will not be further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions. These economic uncertainties affect businesses such as ours in a number of ways, making it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. We believe that the recent global economic slowdown and the resulting slow recovery have caused certain customers to reduce or delay capital spending plans, which, if prolonged, could impact our growth expectations as potential and existing customers continue to delay decisions to purchase or upgrade their systems. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the current disruptions in the credit and financial markets and adverse global economic conditions and its potential impact on our business. If the current uncertain economic conditions continue or further deteriorate, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

 
P-7

 

 

Political and economic uncertainty arising from a majority of voters approving a referendum for the United Kingdom to exit the European Union could adversely impact our financial results.

 

In June 2016, a majority of voters in the UK elected to withdraw from the European Union (“E.U.”) in a national referendum (also referred to as “Brexit”). Negotiations are expected to commence to determine the future terms of the UK’s relationship with the E.U. MAM UK represents a significant portion of our revenues and profitability. The announcement of Brexit caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the US dollar against the British pound. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported international revenues are reduced because the British pound translates into fewer US dollars. The long-term effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the UK makes to retain access to European markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Any of the potential effects of Brexit could have unpredictable consequences for credit markets and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial performance.

 

Financial difficulties or the bankruptcy of one or more of our   major customers could adversely affect our results.

 

Our ability to collect our accounts receivable and future sales depends, in part, on the financial strength of our customers. We grant credit, generally without collateral, to our customers. Consequently, we are subject to credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors throughout the UK Market and North America. In the event customers experience financial difficulty, and particularly if bankruptcy results, our profitability may be adversely impacted by our failure to collect our accounts receivable in excess of our estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Additionally, our future revenues could be reduced by the loss of a customer due to bankruptcy. Our failure to collect accounts receivable and/or the loss of one or more major customers could have an adverse effect on our net income and financial condition.

 

We may fail to successfully develop, market and sell our products .

 

To achieve profitable operations, we, along with our subsidiaries, must continue successfully to improve, market and sell existing products and develop, market and sell new products. Our product development efforts may not be successful. The development of new software products is highly uncertain and subject to a number of significant risks. The development cycle-from inception to installing the software for customers - can be lengthy and uncertain. The ability to market the product is unpredictable and may cause delays. Potential products may appear promising at early stages of development, and yet may not reach the market for a number of reasons.

   

We may encounter significant financial and operating risks if we grow our business through acquisitions.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may seek to acquire or invest in complementary or competitive businesses, products or technologies. The process of integrating acquired assets into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. We may allocate a significant portion of our available working capital to finance all or a portion of the purchase price relating to possible acquisitions. Any future acquisition or investment opportunity may require us to obtain additional financing to complete the transaction. The anticipated benefits of any acquisitions may not be realized. In addition, future acquisitions by us could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, any of which could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial position. Acquisitions also involve other risks, including entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience.

 

An increase in competition from other software manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue and cash flow.

 

Competition in our industry is intense. Potential competitors in the UK Market and North America are numerous. Most competitors have substantially greater capital resources, marketing experience, research and development staffs and facilities than we have. Our competitors may be able to develop products before us or develop more effective products or market them more effectively which would limit our ability to generate revenue and cash flow.

  

The prices we charge for our products may decrease as a   result of competition and our revenues could decrease as a result.

 

We face potential competition from many competitors and increased competition may have a negative impact on our future revenues and financial condition. In addition, there are very large software companies, including Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation and SAP AG which supply ERP and SCM products to our target market of small to medium-sized businesses servicing the automotive aftermarket. There can be no assurance that these companies will not develop or acquire a competitive product or service in the future. Our business would be dramatically affected by price pressure if these larger software companies attempted to gain market share through the use of highly discounted sales and extensive marketing campaigns.

 

 
P-8

 

 

If we fail to keep   up with rapid technological change, our technologies and products could become less competitive or obsolete.

 

The software industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological change. We expect that the software needs associated with the automotive technology will continue to develop rapidly, and our future success will depend on our ability to develop and maintain a competitive position through technological development.

 

We depend on proprietary know-how to develop and protect our technologies and products, which rights may not offer us sufficient protection.

 

The software industry places considerable importance on obtaining intellectual property protection for new technologies, products and processes. Our success will depend on our ability to obtain and enforce protection for products that we develop, preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.

   

We rely upon trade secret protection for our confidential and proprietary information. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or gain access to our trade secrets or disclose our technology. We may not be able to meaningfully protect our trade secrets which could limit our ability to exclusively produce products.

 

We require our employees, consultants, and parties to collaborative agreements to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting relationships or collaboration with us. These agreements may not provide meaningful protection of our trade secrets or adequate remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential and proprietary information.

 

If we become subject to adverse claims alleging infringement   of third-party proprietary rights, we may incur unanticipated costs and our competitive position may suffer.

 

We are subject to the risk that we are infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. Although we are not aware of any infringement by our technology on the proprietary rights of others and are not currently subject to any legal proceedings involving claimed infringements, we cannot assure that we will not be subject to such third-party claims, litigation or indemnity demands and that these claims will not be successful. If a claim or indemnity demand were to be brought against us, it could result in costly litigation or product shipment delays or force us to stop selling such product or providing such services or to enter into royalty or license agreements.

 

Our software and information services could contain design defects or errors which could affect our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our products.

 

Our software and information services are highly complex and sophisticated and could, from time to time, contain design defects or errors. We cannot assure you that these defects or errors will not delay the release or shipment of our products or, if the defect or error is discovered only after customers have received the products, that these defects or errors will not result in increased costs, litigation, customer attrition, reduced market acceptance of our systems and services or damage to our reputation.

 

If we lose key management or other personnel our business could suffer.

 

We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management staff. We also rely on consultants and advisors to assist us in formulating our development strategy. Our success also depends upon retaining key management and technical personnel, as well as our ability to continue to attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel. We may not be successful in retaining our current personnel or hiring and retaining qualified personnel in the future. If we lose the services of any of our management staff or key technical personnel, or if we fail to continue to attract qualified personnel, our ability to acquire, develop or sell products would be adversely affected.

 

 
P-9

 

 

Our management and internal   systems might be inadequate to handle our potential growth.

 

Our success will depend in significant part on the expansion of our operations and the effective management of growth. This growth will place a significant strain on our management and information systems and resources and operational and financial systems and resources. To manage future growth, our management must continue to improve our operational and financial systems and expand, train, retain and manage our employee base. Our management may not be able to manage our growth effectively. If our systems, procedures, controls, and resources are inadequate to support our operations, our expansion would be halted and we could lose our opportunity to gain significant market share. Any inability to manage growth effectively may harm our ability to institute our business plan.

   

We have insurance coverage for the services we offer. However, a claim for damages may be made against us regardless of our responsibility for the failure, which could expose   us to liability.

 

We provide business management solutions that we believe are critical to the operations of our customers’ businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Any failure of a customer’s system installed or of the services offered by us could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although we attempt to limit our contractual liability for damages resulting from negligent acts, errors, mistakes or omissions in rendering our services, we cannot assure you that the limitations on liability we include in our agreements will be enforceable in all cases, or that those limitations on liability will otherwise protect us from liability for damages. In the event that the terms and conditions of our contracts which limit our liability are not sufficient, we have insurance coverage. This coverage of approximately $10 million in the aggregate in the UK Market and in North America insures the business for negligent acts, error or omission, failure of the technology services to perform as intended, and breach of warranties or representations. It also insures the services that we supply including, web services, consulting, analysis, design, installation, training, support, system integration, the manufacture, sale, licensing, distribution or marketing of software, the design and development of code, software and programming and the provision of software applications as a service, rental or lease. However, there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that coverage will remain available at acceptable costs. Successful claims brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage could seriously harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Even if not successful, large claims against us could result in significant legal and other costs and may be a distraction to our senior management.

 

Because we have international operations, we will be subject to risks of conducting business in foreign countries.

 

International operations constitute a significant part of our business, and we are subject to the risks of conducting business in foreign countries, including:

 

 

difficulty in establishing or managing distribution relationships;

 

 

different standards for the development, use, packaging and marketing of our products and technologies;

  

 

our ability to locate qualified local employees, partners, distributors and suppliers;

 

 

the potential burden of complying with a variety of foreign laws and trade standards; and

 

 

general geopolitical risks, such as political and economic instability, changes in diplomatic and trade relations and foreign currency risks and fluctuations.

 

No assurance can be given that we will be able to positively manage the risks inherent in the conduct of our international operations or that such operations will not have a negative impact on our overall financial operations.

Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Reoffering

 

Our insiders and affiliates beneficially own a significant portion of our common stock.

 

As of May 4, 2017, our executive officers, directors and affiliated parties beneficially own approximately 64.4% of our common stock.  As a result, our executive officers and affiliated parties will have significant influence to:

 

 

Elect or defeat the election of our directors;

 

 

Amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

 

 

Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and

 

 

Affect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote

 

In addition, any sale of a significant amount of our common stock held by our directors and executive officers, or the possibility of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing any gains from our common stock.

 

Additional issuances of securities will dilute your stock ownership and could affect our stock price.  

 

As of May 4, 2017, there were 13,050,333 shares of our common stock issued and 12,260,545 shares of our common stock outstanding. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, on such terms and at such prices as our Board of Directors may determine. These shares are intended to provide us with the necessary flexibility to undertake and complete plans to raise funds if and when needed. In addition, we may pursue acquisitions that could include issuing equity, although we have no current arrangements to do so. Any such issuances of securities would have a dilutive effect on current ownership of MAM stock. The market price of our common stock could fall in response to the sale or issuance of a large number of shares, or the perception that sales of a large number of shares could occur.

 

The market for our common stock is limited and you may not be able to sell your common stock.  

 

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The market for purchases and sales of our common stock is limited and therefore the sale of a relatively small number of shares could cause the price to fall sharply. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares quickly without significantly depressing the value of the common stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our common stock, sales of our common stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the common stock. 

 

The price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and subject to fluctuations.  

 

The market price of the securities of software companies has been especially volatile. Additionally, the lack of trading volume for our common stock may cause the market price of our common stock to be subject to fluctuations. If our revenues do not grow or grow more slowly than we anticipate, or, if operating or capital expenditures exceed our expectations and cannot be adjusted accordingly, or if some other event adversely affects us, the market price of our common stock could decline. If the stock market in general experiences a loss in investor confidence or otherwise fails, the market price of our common stock could fall for reasons unrelated to our business, results of operations and financial condition. The market price of our common stock also might decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us.

 

It m ay be difficult for stockholders to recover against those of our directors and officers that are not residents of the US.

 

One of our directors, who is also an executive officer, is a resident of the UK.  In addition, our significant operating subsidiary, MAM Software Limited is located in the UK.  Were one or more stockholders to bring an action against us in the US and succeed, either through default or on the merits, and obtain a financial award against an officer or director of MAM, that stockholder may be required to enforce and collect on his or her judgment in the UK, unless the officer or director owned assets which were located in the US.  Further, stockholder efforts to bring an action in the UK against its citizens for any alleged breach of a duty in a foreign jurisdiction may be difficult, as prosecution of a claim in a foreign jurisdiction, and in particular a foreign nation, is fraught with difficulty and may be effectively, if not financially, unfeasible.

 

 
P-11

 

 

 

Our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our common stock.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of MAM. These provisions could also make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions include

 

 

authorizing the board to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock;

 

 

limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; and

 

 

requiring advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals.

 

In addition, the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law govern us. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us for a certain period of time without the consent of our board of directors.

 

These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and result in the market price of our common stock being lower than it would be without these provisions.

 

  If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, NASDAQ could delist our common stock.

 

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing standards.

 

In the event that our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of our common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a major exchange.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, our share price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our shares of common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our common stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

 

 
P-12

 

 

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the value of our common stock.

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including without limitation, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. To the extent we do not pay dividends, our shares of common stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if and to the extent our stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our common stock does not appreciate, then there will be no return on investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

2012 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

 

The following is a description of the MAM Software Group, Inc. 2012 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan, attached as Exhibit A .

 

General Plan Information

 

This Plan has been established exclusively for participation by our employees in the UK. We have established a similar plan, our 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, for our employees in the US The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employee stock ownership by offering our employees living in the UK the right to purchase shares of our common stock and to receive a matching contribution of shares of common stock from the Company. Our management believes that the Plan offers a convenient means for our employees who might not otherwise own common stock to purchase and hold such an investment. Our management also believes that employees’ continuing economic interests as stockholders of the Company with a stake in Company performance and success should further enhance entrepreneurial spirit and contribute to the Company’s potential for growth and profitability. The Board of Directors adopted the Plan on September 21, 2012.

 

As of May 4, 2017 approximately 176 employees were eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

Employee Eligibility

 

Employees will be eligible to participate in the Plan if they: (i) are employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company named in the trust deed associated with the Plan; (ii) have been employees of a “Qualifying Company” under UK law at all times during any “Qualifying Period” under the Plan (“Qualifying Period”); (iii) are eligible pursuant to paragraph 14(1) of the Schedule; and (iv) do not otherwise fail to be eligible under the Plan. Employees will not be eligible to participate in the Plan if they have (or have had within the preceding twelve (12) months) a “Material Interest”, as defined in the Schedule, in: (i) a “Close Company”, as defined under UK law as modified by the Schedule (“Close Company”), whose shares may be appropriated or acquired under the Plan; or (ii) a company which has “Control”, as defined under UK law, of a Close Company or is a member of a consortium which owns a Close Company. Employees will not be eligible to participate in the Plan in any “Tax Year” (as defined in the Plan) in which: (i) the employee is at the same time participating in an award under another plan established by the Company or a “Connected Company” as defined by and approved under the Schedule; or (ii) the employee would have received such an award but for his or her failure to meet a performance target (if applicable). An employee must be invited to participate in the Plan if he or she (i) is a UK resident taxpayer within the meaning of paragraph 8(2) of the Schedule and (ii) is otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan. Every employee qualified to participate in the Plan shall be entitled to participate on the same terms.

 

Shares Subject to the Plan

 

Partnership Shares

 

In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Company will invite every qualifying employee to enter into an agreement memorializing that employee’s participation in the Plan (the “Partnership Share Agreement”). An employee may contribute up to a maximum deduction of £1,500 per Tax Year of his or her salary, so long as such deduction does not exceed 10% of the employee’s salary in any given Tax Year. In the event that the employee participates in an Award in the same year in which he or she has already participated in an award of shares under one or more share incentive plans approved under the Schedule and established by the Company or a Connected Company, then such restrictions on the amount of employee salary deductions will apply as if the Plan and the other plans were a single plan. The minimum amount to be deducted under the Partnership Share Agreement on any occasion shall be the same in relation to all Partnership Share Agreements entered into on the same occasion, which minimum amount shall not exceed £10.

 

 
P-17

 

 

The Company may specify the maximum number of Shares to be included in an Award of Partnership Shares. In the event that the Company does so specify, the Partnership Share Agreement shall contain an undertaking by the Company to notify each qualifying employee of any restriction on the number of Shares to be included in an Award, and this notification shall be given: (i) in a case where there is an Accumulation Period, before the beginning of the Accumulation Period relating to the Award; and (ii) in a case where there is no Accumulation Period, before the deduction of the Partnership Share Money relating to the Award.

 

The Trustees shall acquire Shares on the Acquisition Date on behalf of the qualifying employee using the Partnership Share Money. In any instance in which there is no Accumulation Period, the number of Shares acquired on behalf of each Participant shall be determined in accordance with the Market Value of the Shares on the Acquisition Date. In any instance in which there is an Accumulation Period: (i) the number of Shares shall be determined in accordance with the Market Value of the Shares at the beginning of the Accumulation Period or the Market Value of the Shares on the Acquisition Date (whichever is lower); and (ii) if a transaction occurs during an Accumulation Period which results in a new holding of shares being equated for the purposes of capital gains tax with any of the shares to be acquired under the Partnership Share Agreement, the employee may agree that the Partnership Share Agreement shall have effect after the time of that transaction as if it were an agreement for the purchase of shares comprised in the new holding. In the event that the Company receives applications for Partnership Shares exceeding the Award maximum, then: (i) first, the excess of the monthly deduction chosen by each applicant shall be reduced pro rata; (ii) second, all monthly deductions shall be reduced pro rata; and (iii) third, applications shall be selected by lot, each based on a monthly deduction on a pro rata basis.

 

An employee may withdraw from a Partnership Share Agreement at any time by notice in writing to the Company, which withdrawal shall be effective thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice by the Company, unless a later date is specified in the notice. Upon withdrawal, any Partnership Share Money which is held on behalf of an employee shall be paid over to that employee as soon as practicable, after deduction of income tax under the “ Pay As You Earn system” or “PAYE” and national insurance contributions.

 

Matching Shares

 

Employees will be entitled to have their Partnership Shares matched. The Partnership Share Agreement shall: (i) set out the basis upon which a Participant is entitled to Matching Shares; and (ii) shall specify the ratio of Matching Shares to Partnership Shares offered by the Company for the time being, which such ratio shall not exceed 2:1. The Company may vary the ratio of Matching Shares to Partnership Shares specified in the Partnership Share Agreement provided that the variation takes place and employees are notified of the terms of such variation before the Partnership Shares are awarded under the Partnership Share Agreement.

 

Matching Shares shall be shares of the same class and shall carry the same rights as the Partnership Shares to which they relate. Matching Shares shall be awarded on the same day as the Partnership Shares to which they relate are acquired on behalf of the Participant and shall be awarded to all Participants on exactly the same basis. In the event that Partnership Shares are issued under the Partnership Share Agreement, but those Partnership Shares are not sufficient to produce a Matching Share, the match shall be made when sufficient Partnership Shares have been acquired to allow at least one (1) Matching Share to be appropriated.

 

Holding Period for Matching Shares

 

The Company shall, in relation to each Award Date, specify a Holding Period throughout which a Participant shall be bound by the terms of the Partnership Share Agreement. The Holding Period in relation to each Award: (i) shall be a specified period of not less than three (3) years nor more than five (5) years beginning with the Award Date; (ii) shall be the same for all Participants who receive an Award at the same time; and (iii) shall not be increased in respect of Matching Shares already awarded under the Plan.

 

 
P-18

 

 

During the Holding Period, a Participant may direct the Trustees to accept an offer: (i) where the offer is for any of their Matching Shares, and the acceptance or agreement results in a new holding being equated with those shares for the purposes of capital gains tax; or (ii) where the offer is of cash (with or without assets), or of a Qualifying Corporate Bond (whether alone, or with other assets or cash, or both), for all of their Matching Shares, and forms part of a general offer which: (a) is made to holders of shares of the same class as the shares of that Participant (or to holders of shares in the same company), and (b) in the first instance is made on condition that, if it is satisfied, the person making the offer will have control of that company within the meaning of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, section 416.

 

During the Holding Period, Participants may direct the Trustees to agree to a transaction affecting their Matching Shares (or those of them as are of a particular class), if the transaction would be entered into as part of a compromise, arrangement or scheme applicable to, or affecting: (i) all of the ordinary share capital of the company (or all of the shares of the class in question, as the case may be); or (ii) all of the shares (or all of the shares of the class in question) which are held by a class of stockholders identified otherwise than by reference to their employment, or their participation in a plan approved under the Schedule.

 

Company Reconstructions

 

In the event that any transaction occurs in respect of a Participant’s Plan Shares (the “Original Holding”) which results in a new holding (the “New Holding”) being equated with the Original Holding for the purposes of capital gains tax, or would have that result but for the fact that what would otherwise have been the New Holding consists of, or includes, a Qualifying Corporate Bond, Shares comprised in the Original Holding shall not be treated as being disposed of as a result of a Company reconstruction.

 

If a Company reconstruction should occur, the date on which any New Shares are to be treated as having been appropriated to, or acquired on behalf of, the Participant shall be the date on which the Corresponding Shares were appropriated to, or acquired on behalf of, the Participant. References in the Plan to a Participant’s Plan Shares shall be construed, after the time of the Company reconstruction, as being or, as the case may be including, references to any New Shares.

 

U.S. Company and Exchange Rates

 

The Plan Shares shall be issued as stock in a US Company in US dollars. The Plan Shares shall be paid for by the qualifying employee in UK sterling pounds and matched by the Company in UK sterling pounds. As such, there will be a difference between the currency rates.

 

CERTAIN U.K. TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR U.K. RESIDENTS

 

The Plan is being made available to employees of the Company’s UK subsidiary, MAM Software Ltd., who are residents of the United Kingdom. This discussion does not address all aspects of UK tax law and does not describe any foreign, local, or other tax considerations that may be relevant to non-US holders in light of their particular circumstances. We cannot assure you that a change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this discussion. The following discussion is not intended to cover all tax aspects of your participation in the Plan. The tax consequences outlined below are subject to change by legislation, administrative action, and case law. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the tax effects of your participation in the Plan, if you believe that you may not be resident and ordinarily resident in the UK

 

The tax consequences under present law, assuming you are resident and ordinarily resident in the UK, include the following:

 

 

you will be subject to income on the amount by which the value of the shares of our common stock acquired on the date of the acquisition (converted to sterling using the exchange rate of the acquisition) exceeds the amount deducted from your pay for that month;

 

 

income tax will be chargeable at your highest rate and will be collected under PAYE;

 

 
P-19

 

 

 

income tax will be chargeable at your highest rate and will be collected under PAYE;

 

 

national insurance contributions (employer’s and, to the extent that the upper earnings limit has not been reached, employee’s) will be due on the amount subject to income tax at the date of acquisition;

 

 

you will be subject to taxes on any reinvested dividends credited to your account under the Plan;

 

 

your base cost of shares of our common stock for the purpose of calculating any capital gain on sale is the difference between the acquisition cost plus the amount subject to income on the acquisition of the shares;

 

 

your base cost of MAM shares that are purchased with any dividends will be equal to the amount of the dividend;

 

 

you will realize a gain or loss if you sell or exchange shares of our common stock, whether you terminate participation in the Plan or after you receive the shares, including cash adjustments for a fraction of a share. The gain or loss will be the difference between what you receive for the shares (or a fraction of a share) and the base cost of those shares; and

 

 

your holding period for the purposes of capital gains tax relief begins on the day the MAM shares are acquired.

 

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

 

The following discussion summarizes certain US federal income consequences, as of the date of this prospectus, of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock by certain non-US holders (as defined below). This discussion only applies to non-US holders who purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to this offering and hold such shares of common stock as capital assets for US federal income tax purposes (generally property held for investment). This discussion is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. These authorities may be subject to differing interpretations or replaced, revoked or changed, possibly with retroactive effect, which could result in US federal income tax consequences materially different from those summarized below. This discussion does not address all aspects of US federal income taxes and does not describe any foreign, state, local, or other tax considerations that may be relevant to non-US holders in light of their particular circumstances. We cannot assure you that a change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this discussion.

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-US holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that is not for US federal income tax purposes any of the following:

 

 

an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership;

 

 

an individual citizen or resident of the United States, including certain former citizens and former long-term residents of the United States;

 

 

a corporation, or any other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

 

an estate the income of which is subject to US federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

 

a trust if (i) it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more “United States persons” as defined under the Code have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

In addition, this discussion does not describe the U. federal income tax consequences applicable to a non-US holder who is subject to special treatment under US federal income tax laws, such as: a financial institution or insurance company, a brokers or dealers in securities, a former United States citizen or resident subject to tax as an expatriate, a “controlled foreign corporation,” a “passive foreign investment company,” a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid US federal income tax, a pass-through entity for US federal income tax purposes or an investor in a pass-through entity for US federal income tax purposes, a tax-exempt entity, pension or other employee benefit plan, an insurance company, a person holding shares of our common stock as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or straddle, or a person subject to the alternative minimum tax.

 

 
P-20

 

 

If a partnership or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes holds shares of our common stock, the US federal income tax treatment of a partner of that partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of a partnership holding shares of our common stock should consult their tax advisors.

 

This summary is not a substitute for an individual analysis of the tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership or disposition of our common stock. If you are considering the purchase of shares of our common stock, you are urged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of shares of our common stock in light of your particular circumstances and any consequences arising under the laws of applicable state, local, or foreign taxing jurisdictions.

 

Distributions on Shares of Our Common Stock

 

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends with respect to shares of our common stock. In the event that we do make a distribution to non-US holders with respect to shares of our common stock, such distributions will generally be treated as dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code, and will be subject to withholding as discussed below. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be applied to reduce, but not below zero, such non-US holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such portion exceeds such non-US holder’s adjusted tax basis, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of its shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—Disposition of Shares of Our Common Stock.” Any distribution described in this paragraph would also be subject to the discussion below under “—Additional Withholding and Reporting Requirements under Recently Enacted Legislation.”

 

Dividends paid to a non-US holder with respect to shares of our common stock will generally be subject to US withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by a non-US holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such non-US holder in the United States) will not be subject to US withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied, including completing Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to US federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if such non-US holder were a United States person, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a non-US holder that is treated as a corporation for US federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

 

A non-US holder who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate for dividends will be required to (i) complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury that such non-US holder is not a United States person and is eligible for treaty benefits, or (ii) if its shares of our common stock are held through certain foreign intermediaries, satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable Treasury regulations.

 

A non-US holder who is eligible for a reduced rate of US withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing timely an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

As a United States corporation, we must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each non-US holder the amount of dividends paid to such non-US holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which such non-US holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

 

 
P-21

 

 

A non-US holder will be subject to backup withholding at a current rate of 28% on dividends paid to such non-US holder with respect to shares of our common stock unless such non-US holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a United States person (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-US holder is a United States person), or such non-US holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

Depending on the circumstances, information reporting and backup withholding may apply to the proceeds received by a non-US holder from a disposition of shares of our common stock, unless such non-US holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is not a United States person (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-US holder is a United States person), or such non-US holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

US backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-US holder’s US federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

 

An individual non-US holder who is treated as the owner, or who has made certain lifetime transfers, of an interest in our common stock will be required to include the value of the common stock in his or her gross estate for US federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to US federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty otherwise provides.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The purpose of this reoffer prospectus is to allow the selling stockholder to offer for sale and sell all or a portion of their shares of our common stock acquired under the Plan. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the shares offered by this reoffer prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the shares will be the purchase price of the shares less any discounts and commissions. Each selling stockholder reserves the right to accept or reject any proposed purchase of shares to be made directly through agents.

 

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors in interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares offered by this reoffer prospectus on any trading market, stock exchange or other trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may occur at fixed prices, at negotiated prices, or at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or at prices related to prevailing market prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the shares offered by this reoffer prospectus:

 

 

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 as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

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

 

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

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

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

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

In connection with these sales, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may:

 

 

engage in short sales of shares of the common stock in the course of hedging their positions;

 

engage in short sales of shares of the common stock and deliver shares of the common stock to close out short positions;

 

loan or pledge shares of the common stock to broker-dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may sell shares of the common stock;

 

enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of the common stock, which the broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell under this reoffer prospectus; or

 

enter into transactions in which a broker-dealer makes purchases as a principal for resale for its own account or through other types of transactions.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in resales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. However, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers involved in the sale or resale of the Shares may qualify as “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the broker-dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters’ compensation under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders will be subject to the reoffer prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, unless exempted therefrom.

 

Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MAMS.”

 

Any shares covered by this reoffer prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this reoffer prospectus. The shares covered by this reoffer prospectus may also be sold to Non-US persons outside the US in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act rather than under this reoffer prospectus. The shares covered by this reoffer prospectus may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares covered by this reoffer prospectus may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

(5)

The description of the Registrant’s Common Stock contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed on May 9, 2013 (File No. 001-35918), pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act , including all other amendments and reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.

  

All documents that the Registrant subsequently files pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all of the shares of Common Stock offered have been sold or which deregisters all of such shares then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents; except that any portion of any annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document or current report furnished under Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K or related exhibits furnished pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, whether specifically listed above or filed in the future, that is not deemed filed under such provisions shall not be incorporated herein by reference.

Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

 

Item 4. Description of Securities.

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

  

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Delaware General Corporation Law and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, bylaws and to the statutory provisions.

 

In general, any officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in our best interest, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe their actions were unlawful. Unless such person is successful upon the merits in such an action, indemnification may be awarded only after a determination by independent decision of the board of directors, by legal counsel, or by a vote of the stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the person to be indemnified.

 

 
II-1

 

 

The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with an action brought on our behalf is generally the same as those set forth above; however, with respect to such actions, indemnification is granted only with respect to expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action. In such actions, unless the court determines otherwise, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner believed to have been in our best interest, and have not been adjudged liable to the corporation.

 

Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements which we are currently party to with each of our directors and executive officers, agreements which we may enter into in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation also grant the power to us to purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and such a policy may be obtained by us.

 

A stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a) 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;

 

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

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

(2) 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; and

 

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

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

 

(c) 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment 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 any 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 of whether or not 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.

Re:             Shares to be registered on Form S-8

 

Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to MAM Software Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “ Registration Statement ”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on May 5, 2017, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Shares ”), related to the Company’s 2012 Share Incentive Plan (the “ 20 12 SIP ”).

 

In rendering the opinion hereinafter expressed, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true reproductions of originals, of all such documents, records, agreements and other instruments, including the Registration Statement, the 2012 SIP, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, the Bylaws of the Company, and the corporate minutes of the Company, as we have deemed necessary and appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations and other information that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when and to the extent the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the 2012 SIP, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

 

 

/s/ Robinson Brog Leinwand Greene Genovese & Gluck P.C.
