This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each
time we sell any of these securities, we will provide one or more prospectus supplements containing
specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplements may also add,

updated from time to time by our future filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). You should also refer to other information contained in or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including
our financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference herein. Additional risks

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into
this prospectus or any prospectus supplement may contain forward-looking statements about our
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business.
Statements that include words such as may, will, expect, intend, anticipate, continue,
estimate, project, believe, plan or similar expressions identify some of those
forward-looking statements. The realization of matters expressed in forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated
by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the risks and uncertainties described in or
incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. Any
forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
speaks only as of the date on which the statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to
update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on
which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New risks emerge
from time to time, and we cannot predict all of the risks that may impact out business or the
extent to which any particular risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
UROPLASTY, INC.
Uroplasty, Inc. is a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets
innovative, proprietary products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions. Our primary focus is on
growth in the U.S. market, which we entered in 2005. Prior to that, essentially all of our business
was outside of the U.S. We believe the U.S. market presents a significant opportunity for growth in
sales of our products.
We offer the Urgent PC® system, which we believe is the only
FDA-approved minimally invasive, office-based neurostimulation therapy for the treatment of urinary
symptoms urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence often associated with
overactive bladder. We have intellectual property rights relating to key aspects of our
neurostimulation therapy, and we believe our intellectual property portfolio provides us a
competitive advantage.
We also offer Macroplastique®, a minimally invasive, implantable soft
tissue urethral bulking agent for the treatment of adult female stress urinary incontinence. When
Macroplastique is injected into tissue around the urethra, it stabilizes and bulks tissues,
providing the surrounding muscles with increased capability to control the release of urine. We
have sold Macroplastique for urological indications in over 40 countries outside the United States
since 1991. In October 2006, we received from the FDA pre-market approval for the use of
Macroplastique to treat adult female stress urinary incontinence. We began marketing Macroplastique
in the United States in 2007.
Our company was incorporated in Minnesota in 1992. Our headquarters are located at 5420 Feltl
Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota, 55343. Our telephone number is (952) 426-6140. We maintain a web site
at http://www.uroplasty.com. Information contained on our web site is not part of, and is not
incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, we will use the net proceeds we
receive from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, which may include, among
other things, working capital, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, debt repayment or the
financing of possible acquisitions. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of
securities by us will identify the use of proceeds for that offering.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
This section summarizes the general terms of the common stock that we may offer using this
prospectus. The following description is only a summary and does not purport to be complete, and
is qualified by reference to our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws, which are
incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part. See Where You Can Find More Information for information on how to obtain copies.
General
Under our restated articles of incorporation, we have authority to issue up to 40,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of May 31, 2010, there were 15,475,040
shares of our common stock outstanding. Our common stock is not entitled to any conversion or
redemption rights. Holders of our common stock do not have any preemptive right or other
subscription rights to subscribe for additional securities we may issue. Our outstanding shares of
common stock are, and any newly issued shares will be, fully paid and non-assessable.
Dividend Rights
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as our board of directors
may from time to time declare. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock.
We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our
business and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock
in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends on our common stock will be at the
discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, earnings,
capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions and other
factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
Voting and Liquidation Rights
Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a
vote of shareholders. Upon liquidation dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of
common stock are entitled to share equally, share for share, in our assets which are legally
available for distribution, after payment of amounts payable to creditors.
Anti-Takeover Provisions in Our Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Minnesota Business
Corporation Act
Our restated articles of incorporation currently contain provisions that could make the
acquisition of control of our company or the removal of our existing management more difficult.
Specifically, we do not provide for cumulative voting for our directors, and we have a classified
board of directors with each class serving a three-year term.
We are governed by the provisions of Sections 302A.671, 302A.673 and 302A.675 of the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act. These provisions may discourage a negotiated acquisition or unsolicited
takeover of us and deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium
over the market price.
In general, Section 302A.671 provides that a public Minnesota corporations shares acquired in
a control share acquisition have no voting rights unless voting rights are approved in a prescribed
manner. A control share
acquisition is a direct or indirect acquisition of beneficial ownership of shares that would,
when added to all other shares beneficially owned by the acquiring person, entitle the acquiring
person to have voting power of 20% or more in the election of directors.
5
In general, Section 302A.673 prohibits a public Minnesota corporation from engaging in a
business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of four years after the date of
the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The term business combination includes mergers,
asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder.
An interested shareholder is a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10%
or more of a corporations voting stock, or who is an affiliate or associate of the corporation,
and who, at any time within four years before the date in question, was the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the corporations voting stock. Section 302A.673 does not
apply if a committee of our board of directors consisting of one or more of our disinterested
directors (excluding directors who are our current and former officers and employees) approves the
proposed transaction or the interested shareholders acquisition of shares before the share
acquisition date, or on the share acquisition date but before the interested shareholder becomes an
interested shareholder.
If a takeover offer is made for our stock, Section 302A.675 of the Minnesota Business
Corporation Act precludes the offeror from acquiring additional shares of stock (including in
acquisitions pursuant to mergers, consolidations or statutory share exchanges) within two years
following the completion of the takeover offer, unless shareholders selling their shares in the
later acquisition are given the opportunity to sell their shares on terms that are substantially
the same as those contained in the earlier takeover offer. A takeover offer is a tender offer
which results in an offeror who owned ten percent or less of a class of our shares acquiring more
than 10% of that class, or which results in the offeror increasing its beneficial ownership of a
class of our shares by more than 10% of the class, if the offeror owned 10% or more of the class
before the takeover offer. Section 302A.675 does not apply if a committee of our board of directors
approves the proposed acquisition before any shares are acquired pursuant to the earlier tender
offer. The committee must consist solely of directors who were directors or nominees for our board
of directors at the time of the first public announcement of the takeover offer, and who are not
our current or former officers and employees, offerors, affiliates or associates of the offeror or
nominees for our board of directors by the offeror or an affiliate or associate of the offeror.
Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE Amex exchange and trades under the ticker symbol UPI.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is StockTrans, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
This section summarizes the general terms and provisions of the warrants represented by
warrant agreements and warrant certificates that we may offer using this prospectus. The warrants
may be issued for the purchase of shares of common stock. The following description is only a
summary and does not purport to be complete. You must look at the applicable forms of warrant
agreement and warrant certificate for a full understanding of the specific terms of any warrant.
The forms of the warrant agreement and the warrant certificate will be filed or incorporated by
reference as exhibits to the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part. See Where
You Can Find More Information for information on how to obtain copies.
A prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the warrants offered under that
prospectus supplement, including any of the terms in this section that will not apply to those
securities warrants, and any special considerations, including tax considerations, applicable to
investing in those securities warrants.
6
General
We may issue warrants alone or together with other securities offered by the applicable
prospectus supplement. Warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities. Each series
of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement between us and a bank or trust
company, as warrant agent, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrant agent
will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not act as an agent or
trustee for any holders or beneficial owners of the warrants.
The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we offer using this prospectus will
describe the following terms of those warrants, if applicable:
|
|
|
the title of such warrants; |
|
|
|
|
the aggregate number of such warrants; |
|
|
|
|
the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued; |
|
|
|
|
the currency or currencies, including composite currencies, in which the price
of such warrants may be payable; |
|
|
|
|
the price at which and the currency or currencies, including composite
currencies, in which the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may
be purchased; |
|
|
|
|
if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants which may be
exercised at any one time; |
|
|
|
|
the total number of shares that may be purchased if all of the holders exercise
the warrants; |
|
|
|
|
the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased if a holder exercises
any one warrant; |
|
|
|
|
if applicable, the designation and terms of any series of securities with which
the warrants are being offered, and the number of warrants offered with each
security; |
|
|
|
|
if applicable, the date on and after which the holder of the warrants can
transfer them separately from the related series of securities; |
|
|
|
|
the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date
on which such right will expire; |
|
|
|
|
the triggering event and the terms upon which the exercise price and the number
of underlying securities that the securities warrants are exercisable into may be
adjusted; |
|
|
|
|
whether the warrants will be issued in registered or bearer form; |
|
|
|
|
the identity of any warrant agent with respect to the warrants and the terms of
the warrant agency agreement with that warrant agent; |
|
|
|
|
a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences; |
|
|
|
|
information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and |
7
|
|
|
any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations
relating to the exchange and exercise of such warrants. |
A holder of warrants may:
|
|
|
exchange them for new warrants of different denominations; |
|
|
|
|
present them for registration of transfer, if they are in registered form; and |
|
|
|
|
exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other
office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
Until the warrants are exercised, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of
holders of the underlying securities.
Exercise of Warrants
Each holder of a warrant is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock at the
exercise price described in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on
the day when the right to exercise terminates (or a later date if we extend the time for exercise),
unexercised warrants will become void.
Holders of warrants may exercise them by
|
|
|
delivering to the warrant agent the payment required to purchase the underlying
securities, as stated in the applicable prospectus supplement; |
|
|
|
|
properly completing and signing the reverse side of their warrant
certificate(s), if any, or other exercise documentation; and |
|
|
|
|
delivering their warrant certificate(s), if any, or other exercise documentation
to the warrant agent within the time specified by the applicable prospectus
supplement. |
If you comply with the procedures described above, your warrants will be considered to have
been exercised when the warrant agent receives payment of the exercise price. As soon as practicable
after you have completed these procedures, we will issue and deliver to you the shares of common
stock that you purchased upon exercise. If you exercise fewer than all of the warrants represented
by a warrant certificate, we will issue to you a new warrant certificate for the unexercised amount
of warrants.
Amendments and Supplements to Warrant Agreements
We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement or warrant certificates without the consent of
the holders of the warrants if the changes are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants
and do not adversely affect the interests of the holders.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may offer and sell the securities:
|
|
|
through underwriters; |
|
|
|
|
through dealers; |
|
|
|
|
through agents; |
8
|
|
|
directly to one or more purchasers; or |
|
|
|
|
through some combination of these methods. |
We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
|
|
at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time; |
|
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
|
at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
|
|
|
|
at negotiated prices. |
The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the
terms of the offering, including:
|
|
|
the names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any; |
|
|
|
|
the terms of the securities being offered, including the purchase price of the
securities and the net proceeds to us; |
|
|
|
|
any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters
compensation; |
|
|
|
|
any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional
securities from us; and |
|
|
|
|
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any
securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed. |
If underwriters are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for
their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions. If we sell
securities to underwriters, we will execute an underwriting agreement with them at the time of
sale. The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates
represented by managing underwriters or
directly by one or more investment banking firms or others, as designated. Unless the
applicable prospectus supplement specifies otherwise, the obligations of the underwriters or agents
to purchase the securities will be subject to some conditions. The underwriters will be obligated
to purchase all the offered securities if any of the securities are purchased.
If a dealer is utilized in the sale of any securities offered by this prospectus, we will sell
those securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the
public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time
of resale.
We may also sell securities offered by this prospectus through agents. Unless otherwise
indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a reasonable efforts basis for
the period of its appointment.
We may also directly sell securities offered by this prospectus. In this case, no
underwriters, dealers or agents would be involved.
Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities
offered by this prospectus may be deemed underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the
9
Securities Act) and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their
resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act.
If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, we will authorize agents, underwriters
or dealers to solicit offers by some specified institutions to purchase offered securities from us
at the public offering price specified in the prospectus supplement under delayed delivery
contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. These contracts
will be subject only to those conditions stated in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus
supplement will specify the commission payable for solicitation of the contracts.
Under agreements entered into with us, agents and underwriters who participate in the
distribution of the offered securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against some civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribution regarding payments
that the agents or underwriters may be required to make. Agents and underwriters may be customers
of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
Any underwriters to whom we sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in
the securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any
market-making at any time without notice.
In connection with an offering of our securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may purchase
and sell them in the open market. These transactions may include stabilizing transactions and
purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. Stabilizing
transactions consist of some bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or slowing a decline
in the market price of the securities, and syndicate short positions involve the sale by the
underwriters or agents of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase from us
in the offering. Underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that the underwriting
syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker dealers who
sell securities in the offering for their account if the
syndicate repurchases the securities in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities
may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher
than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. These activities, if commenced, may
be discontinued at any time without notice. These transactions may be affected on any securities
exchange on which the securities may be listed, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Securities we offer using this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established
trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We
can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the
securities.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act contains detailed provisions for
indemnification of directors and officers of domestic or foreign corporations under certain
circumstances and subject to certain limitations. Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify all
officers and directors for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such circumstances,
and to such extent, as permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.521, as now enacted or
hereafter amended.
Our restated articles of incorporation provide that our directors will not be personally
liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty, except to
the extent otherwise not permitted under Section 302A.251 of the Minnesota Business Corporation
Act. This provision will not prevent our shareholders from obtaining injunctive or other relief
against our directors nor does it shield our directors from liability under federal or state
securities laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
in accordance with the provisions contained in our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws,
or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
We have obtained insurance policies indemnifying us and our directors and officers against
certain civil liabilities and related expenses.

Item 17. Undertakings.
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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(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 the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form
of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed
to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed
part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), 424(b)(5), or
424(b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), 415(a)(1)(vii), or 415(a)(1)(x) for the
purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of
1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the
earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date
of the first contract of sale of the securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person
that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date
of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to
which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to
a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are
offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the registrants 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 plans 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.
(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and
has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Minneapolis, State of Minnesota, on the 2nd day
of June, 2010.
