TORONTO, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - IAMGOLD
Corporation ("IAMGOLD" or the "Company") today announced it has
obtained a receipt for a final short form base shelf prospectus
further to its filing of a renewed preliminary short form base
shelf prospectus, previously announced on March 14, 2018. Both documents have been
filed with the securities regulators in each province and territory
of Canada, except for the Province
of Quebec, and a corresponding
registration statement with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. These filings will allow the Company to make
offerings of common shares, first preference shares, second
preference shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts
or any combination thereof of up to US$1
billion during the next 25 months in the United States and Canada, except for the Province of
Quebec. The net proceeds from any
such offerings may be used by the Company to fund on-going
operations and/or capital requirements, reduce the level of
indebtedness outstanding from time to time, fund capital programs,
potential future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
The Company filed this final base shelf prospectus to maintain
financial flexibility but has no immediate intention to undertake
an offering.
