We have selected highlights of material aspects of our business to be included

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are a
business company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (&#147;BVI&#148;).
We conduct business through our Delaware subsidiary, FGX
International&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;FGX International&#148;), and its operating subsidiaries.
We are a leading designer and marketer of non-prescription reading glasses,
sunglasses and costume jewelry with a portfolio of established, highly
recognized eyewear brands including FosterGrant&#174;, Magnivision&#174; and
SolarShield&#174;.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our largest
shareholder, Berggruen Holdings North America&nbsp;Ltd. (together with its
predecessors, &#147;BHNA&#148;), acquired AAi.FosterGrant,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;AAIFG&#148;) in a
series of transactions between 2000 and 2003. We were incorporated on September&nbsp;22,
2004 to hold the stock of AAIFG and, in October&nbsp;2004, we acquired
Magnivision,&nbsp;Inc. On October&nbsp;24, 2007, we undertook an initial public
offering in which we sold 6,666,667 of our ordinary shares at a price to the
public of $16.00 per share and certain shareholders, including BHNA, sold
7,133,333 shares. We received approximately $97.2&nbsp;million in net proceeds
(after deducting aggregate underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses of
approximately $9.5&nbsp;million), which we used to repay indebtedness and
related costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On November&nbsp;26,
2008, we completed the acquisition of Dioptics Medical Products,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Dioptics&#148;),
which became a wholly-owned subsidiary.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition to the risks related to this offering and our ordinary shares
described below, you should consider the additional risks set forth under &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; included in Part&nbsp;I, Item&nbsp;1A in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K
for the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;3, 2009, which are incorporated by
reference into this prospectus.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our
business and, accordingly, an investment in our securities, involves
significant risks, including but not limited to those described in the &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; section of the Form&nbsp;10-K referred to above and those set forth
below. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of
these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the trading price of our
shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If we or
our existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in
the public market after this offering, or if it is perceived that such sales
might occur, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline. In
addition, if these sales or perceptions were to occur or arise, we might find
it more difficult to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a
price that we deem desirable.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Prior to
the completion of our initial public offering in October&nbsp;2007, there was
no public market for our ordinary shares. Since our initial public offering,
the trading price of our ordinary shares has fluctuated from a high of $18.89
to a low of $7.37. The market price of our ordinary shares may continue to be
highly volatile. This volatility may be influenced by many factors, some of
which are beyond our control and are unrelated to our operating performance,
including those described in the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section of the Form&nbsp;10-K
referred to above and the following:</font></p>

the last three months, the average daily trading volume of our ordinary shares
was approximately 108,700 shares, or about 0.5% of our ordinary shares
outstanding as of March&nbsp;12, 2009. As a result, you may have difficulty
selling a large number of our ordinary shares in the manner or at a price that

dividends. Agreements governing future indebtedness will likely contain similar
restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. Consequently, your only
opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in the Company will be if

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Because we are incorporated under the laws
of the BVI, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to protect their
rights than it would if they were shareholders of a corporation incorporated in
another jurisdiction.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our
corporate affairs are governed by the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (British
Virgin Islands) and by our Memorandum and Articles of Association. The rights
of our shareholders under BVI law are governed by the laws of the BVI and
English common law. The interpretation of these laws, in particular the
Business Companies Act adopted in 2004, is not as clearly established and
developed as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions
in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty in protecting
your interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or principal
shareholder than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a
jurisdiction in the United States.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition, BVI law permits our board of directors to refuse to permit a
shareholder to review, copy or inspect certain documents including the list of
shareholders or directors or minutes and resolutions of shareholders, if our
board believes it would be contrary to our interest to allow review, copy or
inspection. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information
needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit
proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Furthermore, BVI law only allows a minority shareholder to bring a derivative
action on behalf of the Company with a court&#146;s permission. As a result, it may
be more difficult to bring derivative actions under BVI law than under state
law in the United States to protect your interests in the face of actions by
our management, directors or principal shareholder.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Because we are incorporated under the laws
of the BVI, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to enforce judgments

incorporated in another jurisdiction.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Judgments
obtained in the courts of any state within the U.S. generally will be recognized
and enforced by courts in the BVI (except for judgments regarding penalties,
fines, taxes or other fiscal or revenue obligations of ours) if these judgments
are final, for a liquidated sum, were not obtained in a fraudulent manner and
are not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to BVI public policy.
There is some doubt as to whether the courts of the BVI would recognize or
enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or
officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the federal or state
securities laws of the U.S., or would hear actions against us or those persons
based on those laws. We have been advised by our legal advisors in the BVI that
the U.S. and the BVI do not currently have a treaty providing for the
reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial
matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any
federal or state court in the U.S. based on civil liability, whether or not
based solely on U.S. federal or state securities law, would not automatically
be enforceable in the BVI.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
outlined above, there are grounds upon which a BVI court may not enforce the
judgments of U.S. courts and some remedies available under the laws of U.S.
jurisdictions, including some remedies available under U.S. federal securities
laws, may not be permitted under BVI courts as contrary to public policy in the
BVI. Similarly, those judgments may not be enforceable in countries other than
the U.S. where we have assets. Further, no claim may be brought in the BVI by
or against us or our directors and officers in the first instance for violation
of U.S. federal securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial
application under BVI law and do not have force of law in the BVI; however, a
BVI court may impose civil liability, including the possibility of monetary
damages, on us or our directors and officers if the facts alleged in a
complaint constitute or give rise to a cause of action under BVI law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our board
of directors may issue further classes of shares, including shares having
preferential rights to the ordinary shares, without the specific approval of
the holders of ordinary shares. The issuance of such preference shares may
enable our board of directors to render more difficult or discourage an attempt
to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,
our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in our
best interest, our board of directors could cause preference shares to be
authorized and issued without shareholder approval in one or more private
offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of
the proposed acquirer or insurgent shareholder or shareholder group. In this
regard, our Memorandum and Articles of Association grants our board of
directors broad power to further amend the Memorandum and Articles of
Association to establish the rights and preferences of further classes of
shares, including preference shares. The issuance of such further classes of
shares, including preference shares, pursuant to our board of directors&#146;
authority described above could decrease the amount of earnings and assets
available for distribution to you. In addition, the issuance of further classes
of shares could adversely affect your rights, including voting rights in the
event a particular class of preference shares is given a disproportionately
large number of votes per ordinary share, and may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control that may be favored by
shareholders.</font></p>

any distributions made by us with respect to our ordinary shares to a U.S.
Holder generally will constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary
income or &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; as described in more detail below, to the
extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under
United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our
earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to
the extent of the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in his ordinary shares and thereafter
as capital gain. U.S. Holders that are corporations generally will not be
entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any
distributions they receive from us. Dividends paid with respect to our ordinary
shares will be treated as &#147;passive income&#148; and foreign source income for
purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for United States federal
income tax purposes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dividends
paid on our ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or
estate (a &#147;U.S. Noncorporate Holder&#148;) generally will be treated as &#147;qualified
dividend income&#148; that is taxable to such U.S. Noncorporate Holders at
preferential tax rates (generally, through 2010) provided that (1)&nbsp;the
ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the
United States (such as the NASDAQ Global Market); (2)&nbsp;we are not a passive
foreign investment company (as discussed below) for the taxable year during
which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year; (3)&nbsp;the
U.S. Noncorporate Holder has owned the ordinary shares for more than
60&nbsp;days in the 121-day period beginning 60&nbsp;days before the date on
which the ordinary shares become ex-dividend; (4)&nbsp;the U.S. Noncorporate
Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to
positions in substantially similar or related property; and (5)&nbsp;the U.S.
Noncorporate Holder has not elected to treat the dividend income as &#147;investment
income&#148; pursuant to Section&nbsp;163(d)(4)&nbsp;of the Code. There is no assurance
that any dividends paid on our ordinary shares will be eligible for these
preferential rates in the hands of a U.S. Noncorporate Holder, although we
believe that they will be so eligible.</font></p>

we do not constitute a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year,
a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale,
exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale,
exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in such stock.
Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or capital loss and generally
will be treated as U.S.-source income or loss for purposes of computing any
allowable U.S. foreign tax credit. Such gain or loss will be treated as
long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period is greater
than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Long-term
capital gains of U.S. Noncorporate Holders are eligible for reduced rates of

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Special
United States federal income tax rules&nbsp;apply to a U.S. Holder who holds

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We must
apply these tests by taking into account our proportionate share of the gross
income and assets of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly,
25% or more of the value of the stock. For purposes of these tests, &#147;passive
income&#148; generally includes dividends, interest and income equivalent to
interest, royalties and rents (other than certain royalties and rents earned in
the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities, gains from assets that
produce passive income or certain assets that do not produce income
(e.g.,&nbsp;certain investment assets), certain gains from transactions in
commodities or foreign currencies, and income from notional principal
contracts.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Based on
a review of our assets and income, including our projected assets and income
for the remainder of 2009 and future years, we believe that we will not be a
PFIC for 2009 or any subsequent year. However, our status as a PFIC in any year
will depend on our assets and income for that year, which will not be
determinable until after the close of that year. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that we will not be treated as a PFIC in 2009 or any subsequent year.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If we
were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder&#146;s holding
period for our ordinary shares, then, subject to the &#147;qualified electing fund&#148;
(&#147;QEF&#148;) and mark-to-market rules&nbsp;described below, gains realized by the
U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares and
certain &#147;excess distributions&#148; received by the U.S. Holder with respect to our
ordinary shares would be taxed under special &#147;interest charge&#148; rules. Under
these rules, (i)&nbsp;such gains and excess distributions would be allocated
ratably over the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for our ordinary shares, (ii)&nbsp;the
amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the
first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, would be taxed as ordinary income, (iii)&nbsp;the
amount allocated to each other year would be subject to tax at the highest rate
of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year and (iv)&nbsp;an
interest charge for the deemed benefit of the deferral of taxes would be
imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other year.
For this purpose, a distribution is an &#147;excess distribution&#148; to the extent that
the total distributions received by the U.S. Holder with respect to his shares
in a given year exceed 125% of the average annual distributions received with
respect to such shares during the three preceding taxable years (or, if
shorter, the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for the shares).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If a U.S.
Holder makes a QEF election with respect to our ordinary shares, then for any
year in which we are a PFIC the U.S. Holder must include in income his pro rata
share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, regardless of whether such
amounts are distributed. If a U.S. Holder&#146;s QEF election is in effect for each
year in his holding period for our ordinary shares during which we are a PFIC,
the U.S. Holder will not be subject to the interest charge rules&nbsp;described
above. A QEF election generally must be made on or before the due date for a
U.S. Holder&#146;s federal income tax return for the first year to which the QEF
election is to apply. A QEF election is available only if the U.S. Holder
receives an annual information statement from the PFIC setting forth its
ordinary earnings and net capital gains, as calculated for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. If we determine that we are a PFIC for any particular year, we
will supply a PFIC annual information statement, for each applicable year, to
any U.S. Holder or former U.S. Holder who requests it. We will notify U.S.
Holders if we become aware that we are a PFIC in any taxable year. U.S. Holders
should consult their own advisors regarding the procedures for and consequences
of making a QEF election.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A U.S.
Holder of shares of a PFIC that are regularly traded on a qualified exchange
may elect to account for his shares on a mark-to-market basis. We anticipate
that this election would be available for our ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder
making this election would not be subject to the interest charge rules&nbsp;for
any year for which the election was in effect. Instead, the U.S. Holder would
include as ordinary income for each taxable year the excess, if any, of the
fair market value of the ordinary shares at the end of the taxable year over
such holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also
would be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the
U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares over the fair market
value of such stock at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of
the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market
election. A U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in his ordinary shares would be adjusted to
reflect any such income or loss amount taken into account. Gain realized on the
sale, exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares would be treated as
ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other
disposition of the ordinary </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2004,
our subsidiary, FGX International Limited, acquired all of the stock (and,
therefore, indirectly acquired all of the properties) of AAIFG from certain of
its affiliates in a corporate restructuring. As a result of that restructuring,
the former shareholders of AAIFG acquired more than 80&nbsp;percent of the
stock of FGX International Limited. Moreover, FGX International Limited did not
have substantial business activities in the BVI, its country of organization.
Nevertheless, we believe that FGX International Limited should not be treated
as a U.S. corporation under Section&nbsp;7874 because its acquisition of AAIFG
should qualify for an exception, set forth in Treasury regulations, that is
designed to exempt certain &#147;internal restructurings&#148; from the anti-inversion
rules.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Treasury
regulations promulgated under Section&nbsp;7874 provide that stock in a foreign
corporation held by a member of that foreign corporation&#146;s &#147;expanded affiliated
group&#148; (&#147;EAG&#148;) may be excluded from the numerator, but not the denominator, of
the fraction to which the 80-percent test is applied if:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>before the acquisition of the U.S. corporation,
80&nbsp;percent or more of the stock of the U.S. corporation was owned,
directly or indirectly, by the corporation that is the common parent of the EAG
after the transaction, and</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>after the acquisition, 80&nbsp;percent or more of
the stock of the foreign acquiror is owned directly or indirectly by such
common parent.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">An EAG is
a group of corporations, whether domestic or foreign, comprising (i)&nbsp;a
parent corporation and (ii)&nbsp;each other corporation, more than
50&nbsp;percent of the stock of which (measured by vote and value) is owned, in
the aggregate, by the parent corporation or by other corporations in the group.
The parent of FGX International Limited&#146;s EAG is Medici I Investments Corp., a
BVI corporation (&#147;Medici I&#148;), which (i)&nbsp;owned more than 80&nbsp;percent of
AAIFG immediately before the acquisition of that company by FGX International
Limited and (ii)&nbsp;owned more than 80&nbsp;percent of FGX International
Limited after that acquisition by reason of its former ownership of AAIFG.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly,
pursuant to the regulatory exception described above, we believe the stock of
FGX International Limited that was owned by Medici I should be excluded from
the numerator, but not the denominator, of the fraction to which the
80&nbsp;percent test is applied. As a result, the 80&nbsp;percent test is not
satisfied, and Section&nbsp;7874 should not apply to the acquisition of AAIFG
by FGX International Limited. We believe our initial public offering of
ordinary shares should not affect this conclusion. If we were treated as a U.S.
corporation, dividends paid by us to Non-U.S. Holders generally would be
subject to a 30% withholding tax, subject to possible reduction under an income
tax treaty between the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder&#146;s country of
residence. In addition, in that event our ordinary shares would be deemed to be
situated within the United States for purposes of the U.S. federal estate tax,
and would be includible in the gross estate of a Non-U.S. Holder for purposes
of that tax.</font></p>

Non-U.S. Holder who effects the sale of his ordinary shares by or through a
U.S. office of a broker is subject to both information reporting and backup
withholding tax on the payment of the proceeds unless he certifies that he is
not a U.S. person, under penalties of perjury, or otherwise establishes an
exemption. If a Non-U.S. Holder sells his ordinary shares through a non-U.S.
office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to such holder
outside the United States, then information reporting and backup withholding generally
will not apply to that payment. However, information reporting requirements,
but not backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if
that payment is made to a Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, if such a
holder sells his ordinary shares through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is
a U.S. person or has some other contacts with the United States. Such
information requirements will not apply, however, if the broker has documentary
evidence in its records that such holder is a non-U.S. person and certain other
conditions are met, or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup
withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, a taxpayer generally may
obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules&nbsp;that
exceed such taxpayer&#146;s United States federal income tax liability by filing a
refund claim with the IRS.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The BVI
Business Companies Act, 2004 of the laws of the British Virgin Islands, permits
a BVI business company to indemnify directors and officers and permits a BVI
business company to acquire liability insurance for directors and officers.
These provisions will not limit the liability of directors under United States
federal securities laws. Under the registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles
of Association, directors and officers are entitled to indemnification as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

faith and in what he or she believed to be in the best interests of the
registrant and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision
of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and
with a view to the best interests of the registrant and as to whether the
person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful
is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the registrant&#146;s

termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction

best interests of the registrant or that the person had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.</font></p>

request of the registrant is or was serving as a director, an officer or a
liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company
or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any
liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that
capacity, whether or not the registrant has or would have had the power to
indemnify the person against the liability as provided in the registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Articles of Association.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers providing for indemnification to the greatest extent
permitted by applicable law against (a)&nbsp;all expenses and liabilities
incurred by any such person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to, or otherwise becomes a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in, any
proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the registrant) by
reason of the indemnitee&#146;s status with or service to the registrant and (b)&nbsp;certain
expenses if the indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to, or otherwise becomes a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any
proceeding by or in the right of the registrant to procure a judgment in the
indemnitee&#146;s favor by reason of the indemnitee&#146;s status with or service to the
registrant. Such agreements provide, among other things, that if a person to be
indemnified has been successful on the merits of any Proceeding (as defined
therein), the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses
reasonably incurred by the person in connection therewith.</font></p>

liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
referred to in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.</font></p>

offering in which we sold 6,666,667 of our ordinary shares at a price to the
public of $16.00 per share and certain shareholders, including BHNA, sold
7,133,333 shares. We received approximately $97.2 million in net proceeds
(after deducting aggregate underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses of
approximately $9.5 million), which we used to repay indebtedness and
related costs.
On November 26,
2008, we completed the acquisition of Dioptics Medical Products, Inc. ("Dioptics"),
which became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Our
registered office is located at Midocean Chambers, P.O. Box 805, Road
Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Our principal executive offices are
located at 500 George Washington Highway, Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917 and
our telephone number is (401) 231-3800. Our web site address is
www.fgxi.com. Unless specifically incorporated by reference, information
contained in our web site is not a part of this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
In
addition to the risks related to this offering and our ordinary shares
described below, you should consider the additional risks set forth under "Risk
Factors" included in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009, which are incorporated by
reference into this prospectus.
Our
business and, accordingly, an investment in our securities, involves
significant risks, including but not limited to those described in the "Risk
Factors" section of the Form 10-K referred to above and those set forth
below. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of
these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the trading price of our
shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to this Offering
Future sales of our ordinary shares in the
public market could cause our share price to fall.
If we or
our existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in
the public market after this offering, or if it is perceived that such sales
might occur, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline. In
addition, if these sales or perceptions were to occur or arise, we might find
it more difficult to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a
price that we deem desirable.

The market price of our ordinary shares has
been and may continue to be highly volatile.
Prior to
the completion of our initial public offering in October 2007, there was
no public market for our ordinary shares. Since our initial public offering,
the trading price of our ordinary shares has fluctuated from a high of $18.89
to a low of $7.37. The market price of our ordinary shares may continue to be
highly volatile. This volatility may be influenced by many factors, some of
which are beyond our control and are unrelated to our operating performance,
including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Form 10-K
referred to above and the following:
·
the
  failure of securities analysts to continue to cover the Company or changes in
  recommendations or financial estimates by analysts;
·
changes
  in market valuation or earnings of our competitors;
·
variations
  in quarterly operating results;
·
availability
  of capital;
·
general
  economic conditions;
·
terrorist
  acts;
·
future
  sales of our ordinary shares; and
·
investor
  perception of us and our industry.
If the
market price of our ordinary shares continues to be volatile, you may not be
able to resell your ordinary shares at or above your purchase price.
Low trading volume of our ordinary shares
may limit your ability to sell your shares or may result in lower sale prices
.
During
the last three months, the average daily trading volume of our ordinary shares
was approximately 108,700 shares, or about 0.5% of our ordinary shares
outstanding as of March 12, 2009. As a result, you may have difficulty
selling a large number of our ordinary shares in the manner or at a price that
might be attainable if our ordinary shares were more actively traded. In
addition, the market price of our ordinary shares may not be reflective of
their underlying value.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends
on our ordinary shares, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your
investment is if the price of our ordinary shares appreciates.
We have
paid no cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and we currently do not
plan to declare dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Any
payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, capital
requirements, earnings and other factors deemed relevant by our board of
directors. Further, our credit facility restricts our ability to pay cash
dividends. Agreements governing future indebtedness will likely contain similar
restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. Consequently, your only
opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in the Company will be if
the market price of our ordinary shares appreciates and you sell your ordinary
shares at a profit.
Our largest shareholder may continue to
exert significant influence over us.
Prior to the offering, BHNA, together with its affiliates, was our
largest shareholder, owning approximately 33% of our outstanding ordinary
shares. To the extent BHNA and its affiliates retain significant ownership of
our ordinary shares, they will continue to have the ability to significantly
influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the nomination
and election of directors, the determination of our corporate and management
policies and the determination of the outcome of any corporate transaction or
other matter submitted to our shareholders for approval, including potential
mergers or acquisitions, asset sales and other significant corporate
2
Table of Contents
transactions.
In addition, two of our six directors are officers of BHNA's parent company.
The interests of BHNA, or its affiliates, may not coincide with the interests
of other holders of our ordinary shares.
Because we are incorporated under the laws
of the BVI, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to protect their
rights than it would if they were shareholders of a corporation incorporated in
another jurisdiction.
Our
corporate affairs are governed by the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (British
Virgin Islands) and by our Memorandum and Articles of Association. The rights
of our shareholders under BVI law are governed by the laws of the BVI and
English common law. The interpretation of these laws, in particular the
Business Companies Act adopted in 2004, is not as clearly established and
developed as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions
in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty in protecting
your interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or principal
shareholder than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a
jurisdiction in the United States.
In
addition, BVI law permits our board of directors to refuse to permit a
shareholder to review, copy or inspect certain documents including the list of
shareholders or directors or minutes and resolutions of shareholders, if our
board believes it would be contrary to our interest to allow review, copy or
inspection. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information
needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit
proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Furthermore, BVI law only allows a minority shareholder to bring a derivative
action on behalf of the Company with a court's permission. As a result, it may
be more difficult to bring derivative actions under BVI law than under state
law in the United States to protect your interests in the face of actions by
our management, directors or principal shareholder.
Because we are incorporated under the laws
of the BVI, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to enforce judgments
against us than it would if they were shareholders of a corporation
incorporated in another jurisdiction.
Judgments
obtained in the courts of any state within the U.S. generally will be recognized
and enforced by courts in the BVI (except for judgments regarding penalties,
fines, taxes or other fiscal or revenue obligations of ours) if these judgments
are final, for a liquidated sum, were not obtained in a fraudulent manner and
are not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to BVI public policy.
There is some doubt as to whether the courts of the BVI would recognize or
enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or
officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the federal or state
securities laws of the U.S., or would hear actions against us or those persons
based on those laws. We have been advised by our legal advisors in the BVI that
the U.S. and the BVI do not currently have a treaty providing for the
reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial
matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any
federal or state court in the U.S. based on civil liability, whether or not
based solely on U.S. federal or state securities law, would not automatically
be enforceable in the BVI.
As
outlined above, there are grounds upon which a BVI court may not enforce the
judgments of U.S. courts and some remedies available under the laws of U.S.
jurisdictions, including some remedies available under U.S. federal securities
laws, may not be permitted under BVI courts as contrary to public policy in the
BVI. Similarly, those judgments may not be enforceable in countries other than
the U.S. where we have assets. Further, no claim may be brought in the BVI by
or against us or our directors and officers in the first instance for violation
of U.S. federal securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial
application under BVI law and do not have force of law in the BVI; however, a
BVI court may impose civil liability, including the possibility of monetary
damages, on us or our directors and officers if the facts alleged in a
complaint constitute or give rise to a cause of action under BVI law.

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association
contain anti-takeover provisions which may discourage attempts by other
companies to acquire or merge with us and which could reduce the market value
of our ordinary shares.
Provisions
in our Memorandum and Articles of Association may delay, deter or prevent other
persons from attempting to acquire control of us, which could reduce the market
value of our ordinary shares. These provisions include:
·
the
  authorization of our board of directors to issue further classes of shares,
  including preference shares, without the specific approval of the holders of
  ordinary shares;
·
the
  prohibition of action by the written consent of the shareholders; and
·
the
  requirement that the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled
  to vote at a meeting are required to approve changes to specific provisions
  of our Memorandum and Articles of Association including those provisions
  described above and others which are designed to discourage non-negotiated
  takeover attempts.
In
addition, our Memorandum and Articles of Association permit special meetings of
the shareholders to be called only by our Chief Executive Officer or our board
of directors upon request by a majority of our directors or the written request
of holders of 30% or more of our outstanding voting securities.
Our board of directors may issue further
classes of shares, including preference shares, without the specific approval
of the holders of ordinary shares.
Our board
of directors may issue further classes of shares, including shares having
preferential rights to the ordinary shares, without the specific approval of
the holders of ordinary shares. The issuance of such preference shares may
enable our board of directors to render more difficult or discourage an attempt
to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,
our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in our
best interest, our board of directors could cause preference shares to be
authorized and issued without shareholder approval in one or more private
offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of
the proposed acquirer or insurgent shareholder or shareholder group. In this
regard, our Memorandum and Articles of Association grants our board of
directors broad power to further amend the Memorandum and Articles of
Association to establish the rights and preferences of further classes of
shares, including preference shares. The issuance of such further classes of
shares, including preference shares, pursuant to our board of directors'
authority described above could decrease the amount of earnings and assets
available for distribution to you. In addition, the issuance of further classes
of shares could adversely affect your rights, including voting rights in the
event a particular class of preference shares is given a disproportionately
large number of votes per ordinary share, and may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control that may be favored by
shareholders.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The
following summary describes the material United States federal income tax
consequences of the ownership of our shares as of the date hereof by U.S.
Holders (as defined below) and non-U.S. Holders. Except where noted, this
discussion deals only with shares held as capital assets. This summary does not
represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax
consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under
the United States federal income tax laws, including if you are:
·
a non-U.S. Holder;
·
a bank;
·
a dealer in securities or currencies;
·
a financial institution;
·
a regulated investment company;
·
a real estate investment trust;
·
an insurance company;
·
an expatriate;
·
a tax-exempt organization;
·
a person holding our shares as part of a hedging,
integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive sale or a straddle;
·
a trader in securities that has elected the
mark-to-market method of accounting for securities;
·
a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
·
a person who owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or
more of our voting stock;
·
a partnership or other pass-through entity or an
investor in a partnership or a pass-through entity; or
·
a person whose "functional currency" is not the
United States dollar.
The
discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions
thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be replaced, revoked
or modified, which replacement, revocation or modification may be retroactive,
so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from
those discussed below.
If you
are considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of our shares, you
should consult your own tax advisors concerning the United States federal
income tax consequences to you in light of your particular situation as well as
any United States federal estate and gift tax consequences and any consequences
arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
As used
herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that
is:
·
an individual U.S. citizen or resident;
·
a corporation or other entity taxable as a
corporation, for United States federal income tax purposes, created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
States or the District of Columbia;
·
an estate, the income of which is subject to United
States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
·
a trust if (1) a court within the United
States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the
trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of the trust,
7
Table of Contents
or
(2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable United
States Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
If a
partnership holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner will
generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the
partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding our ordinary shares,
you are urged to consult your tax advisor.
Distributions
Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment companies below,
any distributions made by us with respect to our ordinary shares to a U.S.
Holder generally will constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary
income or "qualified dividend income" as described in more detail below, to the
extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under
United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our
earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to
the extent of the U.S. Holder's tax basis in his ordinary shares and thereafter
as capital gain. U.S. Holders that are corporations generally will not be
entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any
distributions they receive from us. Dividends paid with respect to our ordinary
shares will be treated as "passive income" and foreign source income for
purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for United States federal
income tax purposes.
Dividends
paid on our ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or
estate (a "U.S. Noncorporate Holder") generally will be treated as "qualified
dividend income" that is taxable to such U.S. Noncorporate Holders at
preferential tax rates (generally, through 2010) provided that (1) the
ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the
United States (such as the NASDAQ Global Market); (2) we are not a passive
foreign investment company (as discussed below) for the taxable year during
which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year; (3) the
U.S. Noncorporate Holder has owned the ordinary shares for more than
60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on
which the ordinary shares become ex-dividend; (4) the U.S. Noncorporate
Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to
positions in substantially similar or related property; and (5) the U.S.
Noncorporate Holder has not elected to treat the dividend income as "investment
income" pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code. There is no assurance
that any dividends paid on our ordinary shares will be eligible for these
preferential rates in the hands of a U.S. Noncorporate Holder, although we
believe that they will be so eligible.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Assuming
we do not constitute a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year,
a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale,
exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale,
exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in such stock.
Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or capital loss and generally
will be treated as U.S.-source income or loss for purposes of computing any
allowable U.S. foreign tax credit. Such gain or loss will be treated as
long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period is greater
than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Long-term
capital gains of U.S. Noncorporate Holders are eligible for reduced rates of
taxation. A U.S. Holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to
certain limitations.
Application of Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
Special
United States federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder who holds
stock in a foreign corporation classified as a passive foreign investment
company ("PFIC") for United States federal income tax purposes. In general, we
will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a holder if, for any taxable year in
which such U.S. Holder held our ordinary shares, either:
·
at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable
year consists of passive income; or
8
Table
of Contents
·
at least 50% of the average value of our assets
during such taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive
income.
We must
apply these tests by taking into account our proportionate share of the gross
income and assets of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly,
25% or more of the value of the stock. For purposes of these tests, "passive
income" generally includes dividends, interest and income equivalent to
interest, royalties and rents (other than certain royalties and rents earned in
the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities, gains from assets that
produce passive income or certain assets that do not produce income
(e.g., certain investment assets), certain gains from transactions in
commodities or foreign currencies, and income from notional principal
contracts.
Based on
a review of our assets and income, including our projected assets and income
for the remainder of 2009 and future years, we believe that we will not be a
PFIC for 2009 or any subsequent year. However, our status as a PFIC in any year
will depend on our assets and income for that year, which will not be
determinable until after the close of that year. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that we will not be treated as a PFIC in 2009 or any subsequent year.
If we
were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder's holding
period for our ordinary shares, then, subject to the "qualified electing fund"
("QEF") and mark-to-market rules described below, gains realized by the
U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares and
certain "excess distributions" received by the U.S. Holder with respect to our
ordinary shares would be taxed under special "interest charge" rules. Under
these rules, (i) such gains and excess distributions would be allocated
ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for our ordinary shares, (ii) the
amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the
first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, would be taxed as ordinary income, (iii) the
amount allocated to each other year would be subject to tax at the highest rate
of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year and (iv) an
interest charge for the deemed benefit of the deferral of taxes would be
imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other year.
For this purpose, a distribution is an "excess distribution" to the extent that
the total distributions received by the U.S. Holder with respect to his shares
in a given year exceed 125% of the average annual distributions received with
respect to such shares during the three preceding taxable years (or, if
shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the shares).
If a U.S.
Holder makes a QEF election with respect to our ordinary shares, then for any
year in which we are a PFIC the U.S. Holder must include in income his pro rata
share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, regardless of whether such
amounts are distributed. If a U.S. Holder's QEF election is in effect for each
year in his holding period for our ordinary shares during which we are a PFIC,
the U.S. Holder will not be subject to the interest charge rules described
above. A QEF election generally must be made on or before the due date for a
U.S. Holder's federal income tax return for the first year to which the QEF
election is to apply. A QEF election is available only if the U.S. Holder
receives an annual information statement from the PFIC setting forth its
ordinary earnings and net capital gains, as calculated for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. If we determine that we are a PFIC for any particular year, we
will supply a PFIC annual information statement, for each applicable year, to
any U.S. Holder or former U.S. Holder who requests it. We will notify U.S.
Holders if we become aware that we are a PFIC in any taxable year. U.S. Holders
should consult their own advisors regarding the procedures for and consequences
of making a QEF election.
A U.S.
Holder of shares of a PFIC that are regularly traded on a qualified exchange
may elect to account for his shares on a mark-to-market basis. We anticipate
that this election would be available for our ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder
making this election would not be subject to the interest charge rules for
any year for which the election was in effect. Instead, the U.S. Holder would
include as ordinary income for each taxable year the excess, if any, of the
fair market value of the ordinary shares at the end of the taxable year over
such holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also
would be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the
U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares over the fair market
value of such stock at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of
the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market
election. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in his ordinary shares would be adjusted to
reflect any such income or loss amount taken into account. Gain realized on the
sale, exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares would be treated as
ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other
disposition of the ordinary
9
Table

shares
would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed
the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. Holder.
If, on
the date of death of a U.S. Holder owning our ordinary shares, we were
classified as a PFIC and the U.S. Holder did not have a QEF or mark-to-market
election in effect, such holder's successor generally would not receive a
step-up in tax basis with respect to such stock.
A U.S.
Holder will be required to file IRS Form 8621 if he holds our ordinary
shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC.
United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders
A beneficial owner of ordinary shares (other than a partnership) that is
not a U.S. person is referred to herein as a "Non-U.S. Holder."
Dividends on Ordinary Shares
Subject
to the potential application of the anti-inversion rules discussed below,
non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or
withholding tax on dividends received from us with respect to our ordinary
shares, unless that income is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's
conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the Non-U.S. Holder is
entitled to the benefits of a U.S. income tax treaty with respect to those
dividends, that income is taxable only if it is attributable to a permanent
establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Non-U.S.
Holders generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax or
withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other
disposition of our ordinary shares, unless:
·
the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S.
Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if the
Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the benefits of an income tax treaty with
respect to that gain, that gain is attributable to a permanent establishment
maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); or
·
the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present
in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of
disposition and other conditions are met.
If the Non-U.S.
Holder is engaged in a U.S. trade or business for United States federal income
tax purposes, the income from the ordinary shares, including dividends and the
gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the stock that is
effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business generally will
be subject to regular United States federal income tax in the same manner as
discussed in the previous section relating to the taxation of U.S. Holders. In
addition, if you are a corporate Non-U.S. Holder, your earnings and profits
that are attributable to effectively connected income, which are subject to
certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a
rate of 30%, or at a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax
treaty.
Application of Anti-Inversion Rules
Section 7874
of the Internal Revenue Code contains an "anti-inversion" provision under which
a foreign corporation may be treated as a U.S. corporation for all U.S. federal
tax purposes if:
·
the foreign corporation acquires substantially all
the properties of a U.S. corporation;
10
Table
of Contents
·
the former shareholders of the U.S. corporation
hold, by reason of owning stock in the U.S. corporation, at least
80 percent of the stock of the foreign corporation (the "80 percent
test"); and
·
the foreign corporation does not have substantial
business activities in its country of organization.
In 2004,
our subsidiary, FGX International Limited, acquired all of the stock (and,
therefore, indirectly acquired all of the properties) of AAIFG from certain of
its affiliates in a corporate restructuring. As a result of that restructuring,
the former shareholders of AAIFG acquired more than 80 percent of the
stock of FGX International Limited. Moreover, FGX International Limited did not
have substantial business activities in the BVI, its country of organization.
Nevertheless, we believe that FGX International Limited should not be treated
as a U.S. corporation under Section 7874 because its acquisition of AAIFG
should qualify for an exception, set forth in Treasury regulations, that is
designed to exempt certain "internal restructurings" from the anti-inversion
rules.
Treasury
regulations promulgated under Section 7874 provide that stock in a foreign
corporation held by a member of that foreign corporation's "expanded affiliated
group" ("EAG") may be excluded from the numerator, but not the denominator, of
the fraction to which the 80-percent test is applied if:
·
before the acquisition of the U.S. corporation,
80 percent or more of the stock of the U.S. corporation was owned,
directly or indirectly, by the corporation that is the common parent of the EAG
after the transaction, and
·
after the acquisition, 80 percent or more of
the stock of the foreign acquiror is owned directly or indirectly by such
common parent.
An EAG is
a group of corporations, whether domestic or foreign, comprising (i) a
parent corporation and (ii) each other corporation, more than
50 percent of the stock of which (measured by vote and value) is owned, in
the aggregate, by the parent corporation or by other corporations in the group.
The parent of FGX International Limited's EAG is Medici I Investments Corp., a
BVI corporation ("Medici I"), which (i) owned more than 80 percent of
AAIFG immediately before the acquisition of that company by FGX International
Limited and (ii) owned more than 80 percent of FGX International
Limited after that acquisition by reason of its former ownership of AAIFG.
Accordingly,
pursuant to the regulatory exception described above, we believe the stock of
FGX International Limited that was owned by Medici I should be excluded from
the numerator, but not the denominator, of the fraction to which the
80 percent test is applied. As a result, the 80 percent test is not
satisfied, and Section 7874 should not apply to the acquisition of AAIFG
by FGX International Limited. We believe our initial public offering of
ordinary shares should not affect this conclusion. If we were treated as a U.S.
corporation, dividends paid by us to Non-U.S. Holders generally would be
subject to a 30% withholding tax, subject to possible reduction under an income
tax treaty between the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder's country of
residence. In addition, in that event our ordinary shares would be deemed to be
situated within the United States for purposes of the U.S. federal estate tax,
and would be includible in the gross estate of a Non-U.S. Holder for purposes
of that tax.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
In
general, dividend payments, or other taxable distributions, made within the
United States (or outside the United States, if we are treated as a U.S.
corporation under the anti-inversion rules) to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will
be subject to information reporting requirements. Such payments or
distributions to a non-corporate U.S. Holder also may be subject to backup
withholding tax, if the non-corporate U.S. Holder:
·
fails to provide an accurate taxpayer
identification number;
·
is notified by the IRS that he has failed to report
all interest or dividends required to be shown on his United States federal
income tax returns; or
·
in certain circumstances, fails to comply with
applicable certification requirements.
11
Table
of Contents
A
Non-U.S. Holder who effects the sale of his ordinary shares by or through a
U.S. office of a broker is subject to both information reporting and backup
withholding tax on the payment of the proceeds unless he certifies that he is
not a U.S. person, under penalties of perjury, or otherwise establishes an
exemption. If a Non-U.S. Holder sells his ordinary shares through a non-U.S.
office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to such holder
outside the United States, then information reporting and backup withholding generally
will not apply to that payment. However, information reporting requirements,
but not backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if
that payment is made to a Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, if such a
holder sells his ordinary shares through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is
a U.S. person or has some other contacts with the United States. Such
information requirements will not apply, however, if the broker has documentary
evidence in its records that such holder is a non-U.S. person and certain other
conditions are met, or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup
withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, a taxpayer generally may
obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that
exceed such taxpayer's United States federal income tax liability by filing a
refund claim with the IRS.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts
and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The BVI
Business Companies Act, 2004 of the laws of the British Virgin Islands, permits
a BVI business company to indemnify directors and officers and permits a BVI
business company to acquire liability insurance for directors and officers.
These provisions will not limit the liability of directors under United States
federal securities laws. Under the registrant's Amended and Restated Articles
of Association, directors and officers are entitled to indemnification as follows:
1.     Subject
to the limitations hereinafter provided, the registrant shall indemnify against
all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative
or investigative proceedings any person who:
14
Table of Contents
(a)   is
or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or an
officer of the registrant; or
(b)   is
or was, at the request of the registrant, serving as a director of, or in any
other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise.
2.     The
registrant may only indemnify a person if the person acted honestly and in good
faith and in what he or she believed to be in the best interests of the
registrant and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The decision
of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and
with a view to the best interests of the registrant and as to whether the
person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful
is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the registrant's
Amended and Restated Articles of Association, unless a question of law is
involved.
3.     The
termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction
or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption
that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the
best interests of the registrant or that the person had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
4.     The
registrant may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is
or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the registrant, or who at the
request of the registrant is or was serving as a director, an officer or a
liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company
or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any
liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that
capacity, whether or not the registrant has or would have had the power to
indemnify the person against the liability as provided in the registrant's
Amended and Restated Articles of Association.
In
addition, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers providing for indemnification to the greatest extent
permitted by applicable law against (a) all expenses and liabilities
incurred by any such person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to, or otherwise becomes a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in, any
proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the registrant) by
reason of the indemnitee's status with or service to the registrant and (b) certain
expenses if the indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to, or otherwise becomes a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any
proceeding by or in the right of the registrant to procure a judgment in the
indemnitee's favor by reason of the indemnitee's status with or service to the
registrant. Such agreements provide, among other things, that if a person to be
indemnified has been successful on the merits of any Proceeding (as defined
therein), the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses
reasonably incurred by the person in connection therewith.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
(a)           The Exhibits to this
Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this
Registration Statement, which Index is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)           The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)           To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
15
Table of Contents
(i)            To include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)           To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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
this 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
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii)          To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)           To remove from registration by means
of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)           The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
referred to in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
