ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

On January 30, 2014 we issued 1,364,632 unregistered shares of our common stock to the former members of Solana Surgical, LLC, or Solana, as partial consideration when we acquired the Solana business pursuant to a merger agreement among us, Solana, certain selling members and certain other entities. At closing, 217,079 of shares of our common stock issued to the selling members were placed into an escrow account, over which the selling members’ representative shares the right to direct investment decisions. We agreed to register 590,397 of the aforementioned shares pursuant to the merger agreement. This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, to satisfy those registration rights. We have agreed to pay the expenses incurred in registering these shares, including legal and accounting fees.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” using a “shelf” registration process for the delayed offering and sale of securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933.

The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus, regardless of when this prospectus is delivered or when any sale of our securities occurs. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

This prospectus is not an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy our securities in any circumstances under which or jurisdiction in which the offer or solicitation is unlawful. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “WMGI,” “Wright Medical Group,” “Wright,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used in this prospectus refer to Wright Medical Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this prospectus that are not purely historical are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “prospects,” “forecasts,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “target,” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, factors discussed in the section of any accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Risk Factors” and the risk factors and cautionary statements described in other documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, specifically under “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2012, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital stock as stated in our Certificate of Amendment of our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation consists of 100 million shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5 million shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, that are undesignated as to series. The following summary of our common stock and preferred stock is not complete and may not contain all of the information you should consider. This description is subject to and qualified in its entirety by provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplements, and by applicable provisions of Delaware law.

Common Stock

As of February 12, 2014 there were approximately 49,543,424 shares of common stock outstanding and held of record by 481 stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are not entitled to cumulate votes. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding. The holders of common stock have no other preemptive, subscription, redemption, sinking fund or conversion rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of common stock to be issued upon completion of the offering will also be fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be negatively impacted by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company serves as Wright’s transfer agent and registrar for Wright common stock. You may contact American Stock Transfer & Trust Company at 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219 or by telephone at (800) 937-5449.

Shares of Wright common stock are listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “WMGI.”

Undesignated Preferred Stock

No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue any authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our board determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or preventing a change in control of our common stock without further action by our preferred stockholders.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, Wright’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

The Wright board of directors has adopted certain provisions in, and amendments to, Wright’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws intended to strengthen the Wright board of directors’ position in the event of a hostile takeover attempt. These provisions provide:

 

    that only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the bylaws shall be eligible for election as directors;

 

6


Table of Contents
    that directors may be removed only for cause and upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares (as included in Wright’s certificate of incorporation);

 

    that the bylaws of Wright may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by holders of Wright stock only upon approval of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of common stock and the Wright board of directors shall have the power to make, rescind, alter, amend and repeal the bylaws of Wright (though the stockholders of Wright have the power to enact bylaws that will not be rescinded, altered, amended or repealed by the Wright board of directors); and

 

    that only the Wright board of directors, the chairman of the Wright board of directors or the chief executive officer and president may call special meetings of Wright stockholders or, at the request of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Wright capital stock entitled to vote, the Wright chief executive officer and president will call a special meeting of Wright stockholders.

Additionally, the DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Wright’s certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Furthermore, Wright is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and within the prior three years, did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time, on or after the date that such selling stockholder is named in an applicable prospectus supplement, 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. Such sales may be effected by a variety of methods, as long as such methods comply with the limitations agreed with the selling stockholders, including through ordinary brokers’ transactions. Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholder and/or purchasers of the common stock. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” certain information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information about us by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus. Because we are incorporating by reference future filings with the SEC, this prospectus is continually updated and those future filings may modify or supersede some of the information included or incorporated in this prospectus. This means that you must carefully review all of the SEC filings that we incorporate by reference to determine if any of the statements in this prospectus or in any document previously incorporated by reference have been modified or superseded. However, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any statements we make, except as required by law.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) provides for the indemnification of officers and directors under certain circumstances against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a claim and authorizes Delaware corporations to indemnify their officers and directors under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of their being or having been an officer or director.

Section 102(b) of the DGCL permits a corporation, by so providing in its certificate of incorporation, to eliminate or limit a director’s liability to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of certain alleged breaches of their fiduciary duty. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that no such limitation of liability may affect a director’s liability with respect to any of the following: (i) breaches of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not made in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct of knowing violations of law; (iii) liability for dividends paid or stock repurchased or redeemed in violation of the DGCL; or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Section 102(b)(7) does not authorize any limitation on the ability of the corporation or its stockholders to obtain injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief against directors.

The Registrant’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant in a similar capacity or in any other capacity with another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, each director will continue to be subject to liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or the Registrant’s stockholders and for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law or, if in failing to act, the director shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, or for any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action shall (in the case of any action involving a director of the Registrant) or may (in the case of any action involving an officer, trustee, employee or agent) be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action as authorized by the board of directors upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.

 

II-1


Table of Contents

The Registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify any and all of the Registrant’s directors and officers, including former directors and officers, including those serving as officer or director of any corporation at the request of the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Registrant has approved a form of indemnification agreement that provides for the indemnification of directors and officers.

(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; and

Provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

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

(i) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, 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 of 1933, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
