Lannett Company, Inc. (NYSE Amex: LCI), a manufacturer of generic
pharmaceuticals, today announced that it has filed a $150 million
universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Under the shelf registration, if and when declared effective by the SEC,
the company and certain selling stockholders may, from time to time, in
one or more offerings and at prices and on terms to be determined at the
time of an offering, if any, offer for sale up to an aggregate of $150
million of shares of common stock, debt securities, warrants to acquire
common stock or debt securities, or any combination of such securities.
Neither Lannett nor the selling stockholders are required to offer or
sell the securities in the future under the shelf registration
statement. The terms of any offering under the registration statement
will be established at the time of the offering.
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 shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor
shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any
offering may be made only by means of the prospectus included in the
registration statement and one or more related prospectus supplements
that may be used with respect to such offering.
A copy of the final prospectus relating to any offering under the
registration statement will be filed with the SEC and can be obtained,
when available, by contacting Lannett Company, Inc., Attention: Chief
Financial Officer, 9000 State Road, Philadelphia, PA 19136.
Information about the selling stockholders, including their identities
and the number of shares of common stock to be registered on their
behalf, will be set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement.
Lannett will use the net proceeds of any offering for general corporate
purposes, including, without limitation, research and development
expenses, general and administrative expenses, manufacturing expenses,
potential acquisitions of companies, technologies and properties that
complement its business (although Lannett is not currently party to any
binding agreements or commitments with respect to any such acquisitions)
and working capital. Pending these uses, Lannett expects to invest the
net proceeds of any capital raised in investment-grade, interest-bearing
instruments.
