Explanatory Note

 

On November 21, 2016, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (which we refer to herein as the Plan) to increase the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future awards under the Plan to 100,000,000,000. Following the amendment, a total of 17,000,000,000 shares were available for future awards under the Plan.

 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Vapor Corp. (the “Company”) has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which we refer to herein as the Securities Act) to:

 

  Register 100,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issuable pursuant to the Plan; and

 

  Include a reoffer prospectus that forms a part of this Registration Statement relating to the resale of “control securities” and/or “restricted securities” that have been or will be acquired under the Plan by certain of our officers and directors, who are the selling stockholders identified in the reoffer prospectus.

 

The reoffer prospectus contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of General Instruction C of Form S-8 and Part I of Form S-3. The 100,000,000,000 shares included in the reoffer prospectus are the number of shares of our common stock underlying options or shares of restricted stock that have been or may be acquired by the selling stockholders under the Plan.

 

Accordingly, (i) the reoffer prospectus included herein is a combined prospectus with the reoffer prospectus included as part of this Registration Statement, and (ii) this Registration Statement.

REOFFER PROSPECTUS

 

 

Vapor Corp.

 

100,000,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

This reoffer prospectus relates to the public resale of up to 100,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that have been or may be acquired by certain of our prior, current and future officers, directors, employees and consultants (or any of their respective assigns) (who we refer to herein as the selling stockholders) under our Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to herein as the Plan. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares hereunder. However, we will receive the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the options granted under the Plans.

 

The selling stockholders (which includes our officers and directors) may offer for sale or sell the shares in varying amounts through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made through brokers or to dealers, who are expected to receive customary commissions or discounts. The selling stockholders and participating brokers and dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, in which event any profit on the sale of shares by those selling stockholders and any commissions or discounts received by those brokers or dealers may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this reoffer prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus. We will bear all expenses incurred in connection with this offering, other than discounts, concessions and commissions which are to be borne by the selling stockholders.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol “VPCO.” On February 7, 2017, the closing sales price for our common stock on the OTC Pink Sheets was $0.0001 per share.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this reoffer prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. 

 

 

 

The date of this reoffer prospectus is February 8, 2017.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

In this section of the reoffer prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” means and includes:

 

the persons identified in the table above as the selling stockholders;

 

any of the donees, pledgees, distributees, transferees or other successors in interest of those persons referenced above who may: (a) receive any of the shares of our common stock offered hereby after the

 

  2  

Table of Contents  

 

date of this reoffer prospectus and (b) offer or sell those shares hereunder.

 

The shares of our common stock offered by this reoffer prospectus may be sold from time to time directly by the selling stockholders. Alternatively, the selling stockholders may from time to time offer such shares through underwriters, brokers, dealers, agents or other intermediaries. The selling stockholders as of the date of this reoffer prospectus have advised us that there were no underwriting or distribution arrangements entered into with respect to the common stock offered hereby. The distribution of the common stock by the selling stockholders may be effected: in one or more transactions that may take place on a stock exchange (including one or more block transaction) through customary brokerage channels, either through brokers acting as agents for the selling stockholders, or through market makers, dealers or underwriters acting as principals who may resell these shares on a stock exchange; in privately-negotiated sales; by a combination of such methods; or by other means. These transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at other negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the selling stockholders in connection with sales of our common stock.

 

The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise. In such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders also may sell shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery to the broker-dealer of shares of our common stock. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares of common stock pursuant to this reoffer prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders also may lend or pledge shares of our common stock to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the shares of common stock so lent, or upon a default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares of common stock pursuant to this reoffer prospectus. Any securities covered by this reoffer prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares of common stock of the selling stockholders.

 

Although the shares of common stock covered by this reoffer prospectus are not currently being underwritten, the selling stockholders or their underwriters, brokers, dealers or other agents or other intermediaries, if any, that may participate with the selling security holders in any offering or distribution of common stock may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profits realized or commissions received by them may be deemed underwriting compensation thereunder.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of shares of the common stock offered hereby may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for a period of up to five days preceding such distribution. The selling stockholders will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including without limitation Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales by the selling stockholders.

 

In order to comply with certain state securities or blue sky laws and regulations, if applicable, the common stock offered hereby will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, the common stock may not be sold unless they are registered or qualified for sale in such state, or unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is obtained.

 

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the common stock offered hereby. However, the selling stockholders will bear any brokerage or underwriting commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this reoffer prospectus. We have agreed to indemnify certain of the selling security holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities

under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments to which any of those security holders may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the securities offered by them hereby.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons 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.

(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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent 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;

(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.

 

(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 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 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.

To

THE VAPOR CORP.

2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

WHEREAS, Vapor Corp. (the “Company”) sponsors and maintains the Vapor Corp. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) has the authority, pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Plan, to amend the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Board now desires to revise and specify the number of shares subject to the Plan;

NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as set forth below.

 

1: Article 4 of the Plan is hereby revised to read as follows:

“4. Shares Subject to the Plan.

4.1. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11, a total of 100,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan, 3.57 of which shall be available to be issued as Incentive Stock Options. During the term of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.

4.2. Shares of Common Stock available for distribution under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.

4.3. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11, no Participant shall be granted, during any one year period, Options to purchase Common Stock and SARs with respect to more than 50,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate or any other Awards with respect to more than 50,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. If an Award is to be settled in cash, the number of shares of Common Stock on which the Award is based shall count toward the individual share limit set forth in this Section 4.

 

4.4 Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization, either in full or in part, shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an Option, (b) shares delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or (c) shares covered by a stock-settled SAR or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award.”

2. In all other respects the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by Vapor Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on or about February 8, 2017 (the “ Registration Statement ”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Securities Act ”), of an aggregate of 100,000,000,000 shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), subject to issuance by the Company upon the exercise of awards granted or to be granted under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, amended (the “ 2015 Plan ). At your request, we are providing this letter to express our opinion on the matters set forth in the numbered paragraphs below.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined such matters of fact as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinions set forth herein, which included (i) the Registration Statement, to be filed with the; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as currently in effect; (iii) the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, as currently in effect; (iv) the Plan; (v) the option agreements for the issuance of the awards pursuant to the Plan and (iv) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (or a committee thereof) relating to, among other things, the approval of the Plan and the reservation for issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder. We have also examined such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below.

In giving the opinions contained in this letter, we have assumed the current accuracy of the representations and warranties made by representatives of the Company to us, including but not limited to those set forth in the Opinion Certificate. Further, to the extent that the Company issues any uncertificated capital stock, we have assumed that any issued Shares will not be reissued by the Company in uncertificated form until any previously issued stock certificate representing such issued Shares has been surrendered to the Company in accordance with Section 158 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and that the Company will properly register any transfer of the Shares from certificated to uncertificated form to the holders of such Shares on the Company’s record of uncertificated securities.

We render this opinion only with respect to, and we express no opinion herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the existing Delaware General Corporation Law. We express no opinion with respect to any other laws or with respect to the “blue sky” securities laws of any state.

In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have relied on the accuracy of representations to us by officers of the Company with respect to, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures on original documents by the Company. We have also assumed the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all persons or entities executing the same, and the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any document reviewed by us. We have also assumed that there has been no amendment to, or revocation of, any corporate proceedings of the board of directors of the Company referenced in this letter.

With respect to our opinion expressed in paragraph (1) below as to the valid existence and good standing of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware, we have relied upon the Good Standing Certificate and representations made to us by the Company.

In connection with our opinion expressed in paragraph (2) below, we have assumed that (i) at or prior to the time of the delivery of any Shares, the Registration Statement will have been declared effective under the Securities Act, the registration will apply to all the Shares and will not have been modified or rescinded and (ii) the absence of any future amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that would make the Common Stock assessable.

(1) The Company is a corporation validly existing, in good standing, under the laws of the State of Delaware; and

(2) The 100,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold by the Company upon the exercise of awards granted or to be granted under the 2015 Plan, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the 2015 Plan and Plan Agreements and in the manner and for the consideration stated in the Registration Statement and the relevant Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus constituting a part thereof and any amendments thereto. This opinion is intended solely for use in connection with issuance and sale of the Shares subject to the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose.
