SFN Group, Inc. Announces Filing of Universal Shelf Registration Statement
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. // PRNewswire-FirstCall // -- SFN Group, Inc. (NYSE: SFN) announced today that it has filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "registration statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). If and when the registration statement is declared effective, it will permit the Company from time to time to offer and sell up to $100 million of equity or debt securities. The offering of securities covered by the registration statement is designed to provide the Company with greater flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities, subject to market conditions and the capital requirements of the Company. As of the date of this release, the Company has no specific plans to offer the securities covered by the registration statement, and is not required to offer the securities in the future.
The terms of any securities offering under the registration statement will be established at the time of the offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC at the time of the offering. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the proceeds from the sale of any securities will be used for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt and repurchases and redemptions of securities. Once declared effective by the SEC, the registration statement would remain in place for a period of three years.
A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
A copy of the final prospectus and prospectus supplement relating to any offering under the registration statement will be filed with the SEC and can be obtained, when available, by contacting: SFN Group, Inc., Chief Financial Officer, 2050 Spectrum Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309.
