VANCOUVER, BC, March 29, 2021
/PRNewswire/ - Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP)
(Ballard or the Company) has announced the filing of a final short
form base shelf prospectus (Prospectus), which provides the
flexibility to make offerings of securities during the effective
period of the Prospectus, until April
2023. The final short form base shelf prospectus has been
filed further to the preliminary short form base shelf prospectus,
which was previously announced on March
22, 2021.
The Prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces and
territories of Canada 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 will enable
offerings of securities up to an aggregate initial offering price
of US$1.5 billion 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.
