We will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares offered by the selling stockholders, but we will incur expenses in connection with the offering.

The shares of common stock offered under this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders through public or private transactions, on or off the NASDAQ Stock Market, at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.

Investing in our common stock involves risk. We refer you to the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” on page 4 of this prospectus before you make an investment decision.

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

In certain circumstances, we may provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of a particular offering by one or more of the selling stockholders. We also may provide a prospectus supplement to add information to, or update or change information contained in, this prospectus. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus and the prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement, provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date—for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement—the statement in the later-dated document modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this section is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you or that you should consider before making an investment decision. For a more complete understanding of this offering, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus, including the more detailed information and consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Entellus” refer collectively to Entellus Medical, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Entellus Medical, Inc.

Our Business

We are a medical technology company focused on delivering superior patient and physician experiences through products designed for the minimally invasive treatment of chronic and recurrent sinusitis, nasal airway obstruction and persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction. Our platform of products provides safe, effective and easy-to-use solutions intended to enable treatment of patients in more cost-effective sites of care. Our product lines including the XprESS™ ENT Dilation System, LATERA™ Absorbable Nasal Implant, MiniFESS™ Surgical Instruments, XeroGel Nasal Dressing and FocESS™ Imaging & Navigation are designed to enable ear, nose and throat, or ENT, physicians to conveniently and comfortably perform a broad range of procedures in the most cost effective and efficient site of care.

We currently sell our products through a direct sales force in the United States and United Kingdom and through international distributors in over 10 countries. We intend to continue to increase our presence outside the United States through expansion of our United Kingdom sales force and the addition of distributors.

Recent Acquisition of Spirox, Inc.

On July 13, 2017, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Spirox, Inc. Spirox is a privately held medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets the LATERA Absorbable Nasal Implant which is a minimally invasive option to treat nasal airway obstruction. In the transaction, we paid $25.0 million in cash and issued approximately 3.4 million in shares of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments and as calculated pursuant to the calculation methodology set forth in the merger agreement. Of the $25.0 million cash consideration, $7.5 million was deposited with an escrow agent to fund payment obligations with respect to the working capital adjustment and post-closing indemnification obligations of Spirox’s former equity holders. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we agreed to pay additional contingent consideration to Spirox’s former equity holders based on our net revenue from sales of Spirox’s LATERA device, subsequent versions thereof and any other device that treats nasal valve collapse or nasal lateral wall insufficiency by increasing the mechanical strength of the nasal lateral wall through the use of a synthetic graft, evaluated annually during the four-year period following the acquisition. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Spirox, we borrowed an additional $26.5 million in term loans under our credit facility to fund the initial consideration.

Risk Factors

Investing in our company entails a high degree of risk, as more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus. You should carefully consider such risks before deciding to invest in our common stock. Our principal risks include:

 

    the dependence of our revenues on our XprESS™ family of products and our license agreement with Acclarent, Inc.;

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks discussed below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, including the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. If any of the risks incorporated by reference or set forth below occurs, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer significantly. As a result, you could lose some or all of your investment in our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for our stockholders.

Our stock price has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. During the first six months of 2017, the sale price of our common stock ranged from $12.04 to $20.19 per share, and our daily trading volume ranged from 14,349 to 1,891,420 shares. During 2016, the sale price of our common stock ranged from $13.72 to $22.63 per share, and our daily trading volume ranged from 9,200 to 309,500 shares. In recent years, the stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may significantly affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including, among others:

 

    the volume and timing of sales of our products;

 

    the introduction of new products or product enhancements by us or others in our industry;

 

    our ability to develop, obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

 

    quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of others in our industry;

 

    media exposure of our products or of those of others in our industry;

 

    changes in governmental regulations or in reimbursement;

 

    disputes or other developments with respect to our or others’ intellectual property rights;

 

    product liability claims or other litigation;

 

    announced and completed acquisitions and our ability to integrate successfully acquired operations and realize the anticipated benefits from completed acquisitions;

 

    changes in our financial guidance or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; and

 

    general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

In addition, in the past, class action litigation has often been instituted against companies whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. Securities litigation brought against us following volatility in our stock price, regardless of the merit or ultimate results of such litigation, could result in substantial costs, which would hurt our financial condition and operating results and divert management’s attention and resources from our business.

Table of Contents

Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information at all, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

The trading market for our common stock may be influenced to some extent by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. If any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports covering us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We are an “emerging growth company” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and we have taken, and intend to continue to take, advantage of certain exemptions and relief from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” In particular, while we are an “emerging growth company” (1) we will not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (2) we will be exempt from any rules that could be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotations or a supplement to the auditor’s report on financial statements, (3) we will be subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (4) we will not be required to hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, while we are an “emerging growth company” we will not be required to comply with any new financial accounting standard until such standard is generally applicable to private companies. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that are not “emerging growth companies” or elect not to avail themselves of this provision.

We may remain an “emerging growth company” until as late as December 31, 2020, the fiscal year-end following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, or IPO, though we may cease to be an “emerging growth company” earlier under certain circumstances, including if (1) we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue in any fiscal year, (2) the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 or (3) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

The exact implications of the JOBS Act are still subject to interpretations and guidance by the SEC and other regulatory agencies, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to take advantage of all of the benefits of the JOBS Act. In addition, investors may find our common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions and relief granted by the JOBS Act. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may decline or become more volatile.

Our directors, officers and affiliated stockholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other stockholders.

As of August 15, 2017, our officers, directors and affiliated stockholders each holding more than 5% of our common stock, collectively control approximately 32.4% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they were to act together, would be able to control the management and affairs of our company and most matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of our other stockholders.

Table of Contents

Future sales of shares could cause our stock price to decline.

Our stock price could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. Persons who were our stockholders prior to our IPO continue to hold a substantial number of shares of our common stock. In addition, the former equity holders of Spirox hold a significant number of shares of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time, especially after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

Moreover, certain holders of our common stock, including many pre-IPO stockholders and the former equity holder of Spirox, have rights to require us to register their shares under the Securities Act, and, in the case of certain pre-IPO stockholders, to participate in future registrations of securities by us, subject to certain conditions. The shares of common stock offered under this prospectus are held by these former equity holders of Spirox or pre-IPO stockholders who exercised their registration rights in connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, shares of common stock that are either subject to outstanding options, issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units or reserved for future issuance under our stock-based incentive plans are eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules and Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and, in any event, we have filed a registration statement permitting shares of common stock issuable under our stock-based incentive plans to be freely sold in the public market. If these additional shares of common stock are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Certain of our employees, executive officers and directors have entered or may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans providing for sales of shares of our common stock from time to time. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the employee, director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from the employee, officer or director. A Rule 10b5-1 plan may be amended or terminated in some circumstances. Our employees, executive officers and directors also may buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material, nonpublic information. Shares of our common stock sold under these plans, or the perception that such shares may be sold in the public market, may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, sales by our insiders under these plans may adversely affect investors’ views of the future value of our common stock.

In the event that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate, or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. As a result, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a public company, we are required, under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information we must disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent

Table of Contents

limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur in the future and not be detected.

In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws, our auditors will be required to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. While we may remain an “emerging growth company” until as late as December 31, 2020, the fiscal year-end following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, we may cease to be an “emerging growth company” earlier under certain circumstances and that could accelerate our timeline for complying with Section 404(b).

As a result of our recent acquisition of Spirox, we are in the process of integrating Spirox’s internal controls into ours. We may experience difficulties in doing this. If we are unable to confirm that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors, when required, are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, or be delayed in producing these financial reports, both of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. We could also be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC and The NASDAQ Global Market and could be subject to securities litigation.

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of Entellus that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. Among others, these provisions include that:

 

    our board of directors has the exclusive right to expand the size of our board of directors and to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

 

    our board of directors is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class serving staggered three-year terms, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;

 

    our stockholders may not act by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

 

    a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, the president or the board of directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

 

    our amended and restated certificate of incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

 

    our board of directors may alter our bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval;

Table of Contents
    the required approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws or repeal the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation regarding the election and removal of directors;

 

    stockholders must provide advance notice and additional disclosures in order to nominate individuals for election to the board of directors or to propose matters that can be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company; and

 

    our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer.

Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation specifies that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for most legal actions involving actions brought against us by stockholders. We believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law by chancellors particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. However, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, our current credit facility precludes, and any future debt agreements may preclude, us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

As used in this section only, “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Entellus Medical, Inc., excluding our subsidiaries, unless expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

Capital Structure

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws. Copies of these documents are incorporated by reference into this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 210,000,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which:

 

    200,000,000 shares are designated as common stock; and

 

    10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.

Common Stock

As of September 15, 2017, we had 25,432,922 shares of common stock outstanding, held of record by 146 stockholders.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. An election of directors by our stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Our outstanding shares of common stock are, and any shares offered by us will be, when issued and paid for, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that all stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by consent in writing. A special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors, the chair of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the affirmative vote of holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of

Table of Contents

voting stock, voting as a single class, is required to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, including provisions relating to the size of the board, removal of directors, special meetings, actions by written consent and cumulative voting. The affirmative vote of holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock, voting as a single class, is required to amend or repeal our bylaws, although our bylaws may be amended by a simple majority vote of our board of directors.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that our board of directors is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class serving staggered terms.

Finally, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or agents to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any action, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of our Company by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change the control of our Company.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of our Company. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy rights. However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control of our Company or our management. As a consequence, these provisions also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

 

    before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

   

upon closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (1) persons who are directors and also officers and (2) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have

Table of Contents
 

the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

    on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:

 

    any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

    any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

 

    subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

    any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

    the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loss, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, which prohibits our amended and restated certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

 

    any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

    acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

 

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws also provide that if Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we have the power to indemnify our employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our amended and restated bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless of whether we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended

 

11


Table of Contents

and restated bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by this person in any action or proceeding arising out of this person’s services as a director or executive officer or at our request. We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

The above description of the indemnification provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock will be available for future issuance without your approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “ENTL.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

USE OF PROCEEDS

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of our common stock offered under this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders named below or by any of their pledges, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” includes those selling stockholders identified below and any donees, pledges, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer. All of the selling stockholders named below acquired the shares of our common stock being offered under this prospectus directly from us at the closing of our acquisition of Spirox or in private transactions prior to our IPO. We issued the shares to the selling stockholders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In connection with such issuance, each of the selling stockholders represented that such stockholder was an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Each of the selling stockholders also represented that the stockholder was acquiring the shares of our common stock for the stockholder’s own account and not on behalf of any other person and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the shares in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws.

The following table sets forth as of August 15, 2017: (1) the name of each selling stockholder for whom we are registering shares of our common stock under this registration statement; (2) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders prior to the offering, determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; (3) the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered by each selling stockholder under this prospectus; and (4) the number of shares of our common stock to be owned by each selling stockholder after completion of this offering. The table assumes that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares offered by them in this offering. However, we are unable to determine the exact number of shares that actually will be sold or when or if these sales will occur. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered under this prospectus. The amounts and information set forth below are based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders or his, her or its representative, or on our records, as of August 15, 2017. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 25,376,805 shares of our common stock outstanding as of August 15, 2017.

To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown in the table to be beneficially owned by such person. Except as set described below, none of the selling stockholders has had any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. In addition, based on information provided to us, none of the selling stockholders that are affiliates of broker-dealers, if any, purchased the shares of our common stock outside the ordinary course of business or, at the time of their acquisition of such shares, had any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any other persons, directly or indirectly, to dispose of the shares. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus to the extent required.

Material Relationships Between Selling Stockholders and Entellus

Agreement and Plan of Merger and Lock-Up Agreements with Former Spirox Equity Holders

As described above, many of the selling stockholders are former stockholders, option holders or warrant holders of Spirox, Inc. and acquired the shares of Entellus common stock being offered under this prospectus at the closing of our acquisition of Spirox on July 13, 2017. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we may be obligated to make additional earnout payments to the former stockholders, option holders and warrant holders of Spirox based on our net revenue annual growth from sales of Spirox’s LATERA device and related products during the four-year period following the acquisition. Related products include subsequent versions of the LATERA device and any other device that treats nasal valve collapse or nasal lateral wall insufficiency by increasing the mechanical strength of the nasal lateral wall through the use of a synthetic graft. We have the discretion to pay the contingent consideration in shares of our common stock or cash, subject to compliance with applicable law and the Listing Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. A portion of the contingent consideration will be subject to certain rights of set-off for any post-closing indemnification obligations of Spirox’s equity holders. If we pay any of the contingent consideration in shares of our common stock, we have agreed to file another shelf registration statement registering the resale of such shares under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 20 days following the issuance of such shares. We have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and any additional such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after filing and to keep such registration statement effective until such time that all shares covered by the registration statement cease to constitute registrable securities (as defined in the merger agreement) but for no longer than five years from the date of effectiveness. We have also agreed to make and keep available adequate current public information, file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other required documents under the Securities Act and Exchange Act and cause all such reports and other required documents at the time of sale of any registrable securities not to contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Additionally, these holders have unlimited “piggyback” registration rights to include these shares of common stock in future registration statements that we may initiate, subject to certain conditions and limitations (including customary cut-back rights). Under this agreement, we will pay all expenses relating to such registrations, including the reasonable fees of one special counsel for the participating holders, and the holders will pay all underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the sale of their shares of common stock. This agreement also contains other customary terms, including for indemnification. This agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the date that is five years after the closing of our IPO or (2) with respect to each stockholder following the closing of our IPO, at such time as such stockholder holds 1% or less of our common stock and can sell all of its shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act during any three-month period.
