VANCOUVER, June 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Ballard Power Systems
(NASDAQ: BLDP; TSX: BLDP) (Ballard or the Company) has announced
the filing of a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus
(Prospectus), which provides the flexibility to make offerings of
securities during the effective period of the Prospectus, until
July 2020. The final short form base
shelf prospectus is expected to be filed prior to expiry of the
existing shelf prospectus, which was filed in June 2016.
The Prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces and
territories of Canada except
Quebec, and a corresponding shelf
registration statement on Form F-10 (Registration Statement) was
also filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). These filings, when made final and effective,
will enable offerings of securities up to an aggregate initial
offering price of US$150 million at
any time during the 25-month period that the Prospectus remains
effective. The Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC,
but is not yet effective. Securities may not be sold nor may offers
to buy be accepted prior to the time the Registration Statement
becomes effective. After the Registration Statement becomes
effective, a copy of the Registration Statement and a copy of the
Prospectus contained therein can be obtained by contacting Ballard
at 9000 Glenlyon Parkway, Burnaby,
British Columbia, V5J 5J8, Attention: Kerry Hillier, Corporate Secretary. Copies of
the Prospectus and the Registration Statement are also available at
www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any
sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.
If any securities are offered under the Prospectus and/or
Registration Statement, the terms of any such securities and the
intended use of the net proceeds resulting from such offering would
be established at the time of any offering and would be described
in a Prospectus supplement filed with applicable Canadian
securities regulators and/or the SEC, respectively, at the time of
such an offering and would be made available by Ballard at the
above address.
