Pursuant to Rule 429 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement serves as Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-86946), relating to 522,418 shares (223,236 shares on a split adjusted basis) of Registrant's common stock issuable pursuant to the Registrant’s 2002 Directors, Officers and Consultants Stock Option, Stock Warrant and Stock Award Plan.







 
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8, filed by a21, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“a21-Delaware” or the “Registrant”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), relates to those certain registration statements filed with the Commission by a21, Inc., a Texas corporation (“a21-Texas”) on April 25, 2002 and July 18, 2002, bearing Registration Numbers 333-86946 and 333-96661, respectively (the “Registration Statements”), and is being filed by the Registrant as the successor to a21-Texas following the Merger described below.
 
On July 31, 2006, a21-Texas, merged (the “Merger”) with and into a21-Delaware (then a wholly owned, non-operating subsidiary of a21-Texas formed for the purpose of effecting the Merger), with a21-Delaware surviving the Merger. The Merger was effected pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 7, 2006, which was approved by the Board of Directors of a21-Texas on June 19, 2006 and by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of a21-Texas on June 23, 2006. As a result of the Merger, (i) each issued share of common stock of a21-Texas was converted into a share of common stock of a21-Delaware; and (ii) each option, warrant, convertible note or other right to acquire shares of a21 Texas’s common stock was converted into and became an equivalent option, warrant, convertible note or other right to acquire an equal number of shares of a21-Delaware’s common stock on the same terms and conditions and at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price applicable to any such a21-Texas option, warrant or other right immediately prior to the reincorporation. Accordingly, all of the a21-Texas’s shares of common stock previously registered under the 2002 Directors, Officers and Consultants Stock Option, Stock Warrant and Stock Award Plan are now shares of common stock of the Registrant.
 
Pursuant to Rule 414(d) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant hereby adopts each of the Registration Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Moreover, the Registrant hereby amends and restates the items of each of the Registration Statements as set forth herein for the purpose of reflecting material changes resulting from the Merger.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that none of our directors will be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages arising from the director’s breach of fiduciary duty as a director, with certain limited exceptions.
 
The Delaware General Corporation Law and our Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such capacities. In general, our directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in good faith and in a manner such person believed to be in our best interests, and provided that with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful.
 

 
The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to any satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct unless the court, in its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions authorizing it to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Item 9.    Undertakings.
 
The undersigned Registrant undertakes:
 
(1)  
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
(i)  
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)  
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
 
(iii)  
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 the registration statement;
 
(2)  
That, for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3)  
To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 

 
(4)  
That, for determining liability of the undersigned Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)  
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to;
 
(ii)  
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
 
(iii)  
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
 
(iv)  
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
 
(5)  
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(6)  
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
