THE COMPANY

The Company’s principal executive office is located at 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 2024, Chicago, IL 60654 and the telephone number is (312) 506-1200.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. All the proceeds from the sales by the selling stockholders will be for the respective accounts of the selling stockholders. See the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections of this prospectus supplement.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information known to us regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholders as of May 29, 2013, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares registered for resale and offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. We refer to all such shares, collectively, as the “offered shares.”

The number of shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders is determined by SEC rules. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, the number of shares of common stock deemed outstanding includes shares issuable upon exercise of options held by the respective person or group which may be exercised within 60 days after May 29, 2013 and shares underlying restricted stock units held or beneficially owned by the respective person or group which are currently vested or vest within 60 days of May 29, 2013. For purposes of calculating each person’s or group’s percentage ownership, currently exercisable stock options, stock options exercisable within 60 days after May 29, 2013 and currently vested restricted stock units are included for that person or group but not the stock options or restricted stock units of any other person or group. The percentage of shares beneficially owned before and after this offering is based on 177,835,856 outstanding shares of our common stock as of May 23, 2013. Since the selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the offered shares, we cannot estimate the number of offered shares that will be sold or that will be owned upon completion of the offering. In the table below, we have assumed that the selling stockholders have sold all of the shares offered for resale by this prospectus supplement.


Beneficial Owner	Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering					Number of Shares Offered Hereby		Shares Beneficially Owned after the Offering

All of the shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders are held by ESOP Management and Trust Services, Ltd., as custodian, which has agreed to not sell more than 172,087 shares per day.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering shares of common stock to permit the resale of any or all of such shares by the selling stockholders from time to time on or after June 2, 2013. We are required to register these shares for resale under the terms of an agreement with the selling stockholders. We are required to use our reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement for the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders to remain effective until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all such shares have been sold; or (ii) the date on which all such shares may be sold during any ninety (90) day period without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of common stock. We will bear the fees and expenses incurred in connection with our obligation to register common stock held by selling stockholders. However, the selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and agent’s commissions, if any. The registration of the selling stockholders’ shares of common stock does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of their shares.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time, on or after June 2, 2013, in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Any such price may be changed from time to time. Each selling stockholder will act independently from us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner of sale, amount of securities to be sold and the pricing of any transaction. These prices will be determined by the selling stockholder or by agreement between such selling stockholder and underwriters or dealers who may receive fees or commissions in connection with such sale. Such sales may be effected by a variety of methods, including the following:

•

in market transactions;

•

in privately negotiated transactions;

•

through the writing of options;

•

in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

if we agree to it prior to the distribution, through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis;

•

through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals;

•

directly to one or more purchasers;

•

through agents; or

•

in any combination of the above or by any other legally available means.

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with brokers, dealers or other financial institutions, who may in turn engage in short sales of common stock, deliver the shares of common stock to close out such short positions, or loan or pledge the shares of common stock to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may sell such securities.

S-2

The underwriter or underwriters with respect to an underwritten offering of common stock and the other material terms and conditions of the underwriting will be set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to such offering and, if an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter or underwriters will be set forth on the cover of the prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock, underwriters will receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of debentures and underlying common stock for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the selling stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders, respectively, may decide to sell all, any portion or none of the shares of common stock offered by them pursuant to this prospectus supplement. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer, devise or give the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus supplement. Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus supplement that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers, other financial institutions or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any commissions received by any such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. If any selling stockholder was deemed to be an underwriter, such selling stockholder may be subject to statutory liabilities including, but not limited to, those of Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in the distribution will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other relevant person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock being distributed. All of the above may affect the marketability of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to common stock.

Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares of common stock have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution from us in connection with those liabilities. The selling stockholders will severally indemnify us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and will be entitled to contribution severally from the selling stockholders in connection with those liabilities.

S-3

We may require the selling stockholders to refrain from offering or selling shares under the registration statement of which the accompanying prospectus forms a part (i) if we determine in good faith that this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated herein or therein, or necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading, or (ii) during our regular black-out periods in connection with our quarterly earnings releases in accordance with our policies (as may be amended from time to time).

In this prospectus we will refer to the debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, share purchase contracts and share purchase units collectively as the “securities.” This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we or the selling securityholders may offer.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves significant risks. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference herein from our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement. Our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be adversely affected by any of these risks.

The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or operations. Any adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results could result in a decline in the value of the securities and the loss of all or part of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital, repayment or reduction of long-term and short-term debt and the financing of acquisitions. The net proceeds may be invested temporarily in short-term marketable securities or applied to repay short-term debt until they are used for their stated purposes.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of securities by the selling securityholders.

RATIOS

Our ratios of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods indicated are set forth below. The information set forth below should be read together with the financial statements and the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

This prospectus contains summary descriptions of the debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, share purchase contracts and share purchase units that we or one or more selling securityholders may offer and sell from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete descriptions of each security. The particular terms of any security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering materials.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This section describes certain general terms and provisions of our debt securities and the related indenture. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of that series in a supplement to this prospectus and, if applicable, on or more free writing prospectuses relating to such series.

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture (the “indenture”), to be entered into by us and a trustee named therein. We have described some of the provisions of the indenture and the debt securities below. This description is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the indenture and the form of debt security that will be filed and incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information.” You should read the indenture and the form of debt security for a complete statement of the provisions described in this prospectus and for other provisions that may be important to you. The indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

References in this section to “Allscripts,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. excluding its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires or is otherwise expressly stated.

General

The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors or a committee thereof, and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a resolution of our board of directors or a committee thereof, an officers’ certificate or a supplemental indenture.

An unlimited aggregate principal amount of debt securities may be issued under the indenture. We may issue debt securities under the indenture from time to time in one or more series with the same or various maturities, interest rates, public offering prices and other terms and provisions. We need not issue all debt securities of one series at the same time. In addition, unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may, without the consent of the holders or beneficial owners of the debt securities of any series, reopen a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series from time to time. Any such additional debt securities of any series, together with the debt securities of that series previously issued, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement and, if applicable, one or more free writing prospectuses relating to any series of debt securities being offered, the aggregate principal amount and other terms of the debt securities of that series, which may include the following, if applicable:

•

the title of the debt securities of that series;

•

the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which the debt securities of that series will be offered to the public;

•

any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series;

•

the date or dates on which we will pay the principal on the debt securities of that series;

•

the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) or the method used to determine the rate or rates at which the debt securities of that series will bear interest, if any; the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue; the date or dates on which interest, if any, will be payable; and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date;

•

our right, if any, to defer payment of interest, if any, on the debt securities of that series and the length of any deferral period;

•

the terms and conditions upon which we may redeem the debt securities of that series;

•

any obligation we may have to redeem or repurchase the debt securities of that series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holders of debt securities of that series;

•

the denominations in which the debt securities of that series will be issued, if other than denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

•

the portion of principal amount of the debt securities of that series payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof, if other than the entire principal amount;

•

the currency of denomination of the debt securities of that series, if other than U.S. dollars;

•

the currency or currencies in which payment of principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the debt securities of that series will be made, if other than U.S. dollars;

•

if payments of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the debt securities of that series will be made in one or more currencies, other than that or those in which the debt securities of that series are denominated, the manner in which the currency exchange rate with respect to those payments will be determined;

•

the manner in which the amounts of payments of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the debt securities of that series will be determined, if those amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies or by reference to a commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or other index;

•

any provisions relating to any collateral provided as security for the payment, or any guarantee, of the debt securities of that series;

•

any additions to or changes in the events of default in the indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series;

•

any additions to or changes in the covenants described in the indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series;

•

whether the debt securities of that series will be convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or other securities and, if so, the terms of conversion or exchange;

•

if the debt securities will not be senior debt securities, whether the debt securities will be senior subordinated, subordinated or junior subordinated debt securities;

•

if applicable, any interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to such debt securities; and

•

any other terms of the debt securities of that series, which may supplement, modify or delete any provision of the indenture as it applies to that series.

Without limitation to the foregoing, the terms of the debt securities of any series described in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may modify, supplement or supersede any of the terms of the debt securities or the indenture described in this prospectus.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, interest on the debt securities of each series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

In addition, the indenture will allow us to issue subordinated debt securities. Any subordination provisions of a particular series of debt securities will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement. We may issue debt securities (which we refer to as “discount securities”) that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to any such discount securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee the debt securities. The particular terms of any guarantee will be described in the related prospectus supplement.

Form; Transfer and Exchange

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement:

•

the debt securities of each series will be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in the form of one or more global debt securities (“global securities”) registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee, and

•

investors will not be entitled to receive debt securities of such series in definitive certificated form (“certificated securities”) or to have debt securities of such series registered in their names except under the limited circumstances described below under “Book-Entry Form and Transfer.”

Governing law

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of the terms of the capital stock of Allscripts is not meant to be complete and is qualified by reference to Allscripts’ Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., which we refer to as our “certificate of incorporation,” and By-Laws, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, and to all applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Authorized Capital Stock

Allscripts’ current authorized capital stock consists of 349,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of the close of business on May 23, 2013, there were 177,835,856 shares of Allscripts common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Allscripts preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Allscripts Common Stock

Voting and Other Rights. Holders of Allscripts common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Generally, matters to be decided by the stockholders will be decided by the vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Allscripts common stock entitled to vote on the subject matter and represented in person or by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present except for certain extraordinary corporate actions that, under Delaware law, require a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, such as approval of certain mergers, asset sales and dissolutions. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that Allscripts may designate and issue at any time in the future.

Dividend Rights; Rights Upon Liquidation. Holders of Allscripts common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon Allscripts’ liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of Allscripts common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of Allscripts’ debts and other liabilities.

Other Rights. Holders of Allscripts common stock currently have no pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no sinking fund provisions or redemption provisions applicable to Allscripts common stock.

Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2013, among us, Allscripts Healthcare International Holdings, LLC, dbMotion, Ltd., the Sellers party thereto and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as representative of the Sellers (which we refer to as the “Seller Representative”), we agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement on Form S-3 to become effective or be declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days of March 4, 2013 for the resale from time to time by holders of the 3,823,453 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (which we refer to as the “Registrable Shares”) in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof as will be consented to by us and by the Seller Representative on behalf of the holders of the Registrable Shares. The Registrable Shares are held on behalf of the Sellers by ESOP Management and Trust Services, Ltd., as custodian, which has agreed to not sell more than 172,087 of these shares per day. We will use reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement on Form S-3 to remain effective until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Shares included in the registration statement on Form S-3 will have been sold or (ii) the date on which all Registrable Shares may be sold during any ninety (90) day period without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We expect to file a prospectus supplement to this prospectus to satisfy this requirement.

Allscripts Preferred Stock

The Allscripts board of directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval but subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to establish from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock covering up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to issue these shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each class or series of Allscripts preferred stock will cover the number of shares and will have the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as are determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights and redemption rights.

The Allscripts board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or other rights of the holders of Allscripts common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also delay, defer or prevent a change of control of Allscripts or otherwise negatively affect the market price of Allscripts common stock. Allscripts has no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and By-Laws could make the following more difficult:

•

acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;

•

acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or

•

removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board. We believe that these provisions give our board the flexibility to exercise its fiduciary duties in a manner consistent with the interests of our stockholders.

Advance Notice Requirements. Our By-laws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Delaware Law. Our certificate of incorporation contains an election to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits certain “business combinations,” including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions by a corporation or a subsidiary with an interested stockholder who beneficially owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, within three years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, unless:

•

the board of directors of the corporation has approved, before the acquisition time, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder,

•

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, the person owns at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors who are officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer), or

•

after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

No Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation prohibits our stockholders from acting by written consent without a meeting, and provides that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of our Board of Directors or the Board of Directors in the manner provided in the By-Laws.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders may impede a takeover of us and prevent a transaction favorable to the holders of our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants to purchase debt securities, shares of common stock or shares of preferred stock. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities. Warrants sold with other securities may be attached to or separate from the other securities. We will issue warrants under one or more warrant agreements between us and a warrant agent that we will name in the prospectus supplement.

The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants we are offering will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some or all of the following:

•

the title of the warrants;

•

the aggregate number of warrants offered;

•

the designation, number and terms of the debt securities, shares of common stock or shares of preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants and procedures by which those numbers may be adjusted;

•

the exercise price of the warrants;

•

the dates or periods during which the warrants are exercisable;

•

the designation and terms of any securities with which the warrants are issued;

•

if the warrants are issued as a unit with another security, the date on and after which the warrants and the other security will be separately transferable;

•

if the exercise price is not payable in U.S. dollars, the foreign currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the exercise price is denominated;

•

any minimum or maximum amount of warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

•

any terms relating to the modification of the warrants; and

•

any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND SHARE PURCHASE UNITS

We may issue share purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and us to sell to the holders, a specified number of shares of common stock at a future date or dates, which we refer to in this prospectus as “Share Purchase Contracts.” The price per share of common stock and number of shares of common stock may be fixed at the time the Share Purchase Contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the Share Purchase Contracts. The Share Purchase Contracts may be issued separately or as a part of units consisting of a Share Purchase Contract and our debt securities or debt obligations of third parties, securing the holders’ obligations to purchase the shares of common stock under the Share Purchase Contracts, which we refer to in this prospectus as “Share Purchase Units.” The Share Purchase Contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner. The Share Purchase Contracts also may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the Share Purchase Units or vice-versa and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any Share Purchase Contracts or Share Purchase Units. The description in the prospectus supplement will not necessarily be complete, and reference will be made to the Share Purchase Contracts, and, if applicable, collateral or depositary arrangements, relating to the Share Purchase Contracts or Share Purchase Units. Material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the Share Purchase Units and the Share Purchase Contracts will also be discussed in the applicable prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We or the selling securityholders may sell the securities covered by this prospectus in any of the following ways (or in any combination):

•

through underwriters, dealers or remarketing firms;

•

directly to one or more purchasers, including to a limited number of institutional purchasers; or

•

through agents.

Any such dealer or agent, in addition to any underwriter, may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions received by an underwriter, dealer, remarketing firm or agent on the sale or resale of securities may be considered by the SEC to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

In addition, we or the selling securityholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with such a transaction, the third parties may, pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close any related short positions. We or the selling securityholders may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement.

The terms of the offering of the securities with respect to which this prospectus is being delivered will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and will include, among other things:

•

the type of and terms of the securities offered;

•

the price of the securities;

•

the proceeds to us from the sale of the securities;

•

the names of the securities exchanges, if any, on which the securities are listed;

•

information regarding the selling securityholders, if any;

•

the names of any underwriters, dealers, remarketing firms or agents and the amount of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them;

•

any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

•

any underwriting discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or agents; and

•

any discounts or concessions which may be allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

If underwriters are used in the sale of securities, such securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more underwriters acting alone. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such securities if any are purchased by them. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

If the dealers acting as principals are used in the sale of any securities, such securities will be acquired by the dealers, as principals, and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The name of any dealer and the terms of the transactions will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered.

Securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more firms, which we refer to herein as the “remarketing firms,” acting as principals for their own accounts or as our agents, as applicable. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters, as that term is defined in the Securities Act in connection with the securities remarketed thereby.

The securities may be sold directly by us or the selling securityholders or through agents designated by us or the selling securityholders from time to time. In the case of securities sold directly by us or the selling securityholders, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Any agents involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, and any commissions payable by us or the selling securityholders to such agents, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We or the selling securityholders may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to purchase the securities to which this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement relates from us or the selling securityholders at the public offering price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, plus, if applicable, accrued interest, pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.

Agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, all securities offered by this prospectus, other than our common stock that is listed on the Nasdaq, will be new issues with no established trading market. We may elect to list any of the securities on one or more exchanges, but unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we shall not be obligated to do so. In addition, underwriters will not be obligated to make a market in any securities. No assurance can be given regarding the activity of trading in, or liquidity of, any securities.

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing, transactions, short, covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a

specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq or otherwise.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, legal matters in connection with this offering of securities will be passed upon for us by Sidley Austin LLP, Chicago, Illinois.
