"With our strong operating performance, long-term growth prospects, and increase in share price over the past eighteen months, having a base shelf will provide additional flexibility to add growth capital and lower our cost of capital when we judge the time to be right," stated Kyle Kazan, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Glass House. "At that time, we will consider all available options including debt, equity, and preferred equity or any combination."
The Company has filed the Shelf Prospectus to maintain financial flexibility but has no immediate plans to undertake an offering of Securities under the Shelf Prospectus. There is no certainty that any Securities will be offered or sold under the Shelf Prospectus within the 25-month effective period. Should Glass House decide to offer any Securities during the 25-month effective period, the specific terms will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Prospectus.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these Securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Securities will not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly within the United States (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act")) except pursuant to transactions exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and under the securities laws of any applicable state.
