ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Electric City Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: ELCY) announced today that it filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a proposed rights offering to holders of the Company's common stock. The Company previously announced its decision to delay the filing until after Labor Day in order to ensure that stockholders returning from summer holidays have the opportunity to carefully evaluate the offering.
The Company intends to distribute at no charge to stockholders five non- transferable subscription rights for each share of common stock owned on the record date. Each subscription right will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a cash subscription price of $1.00 per share. An aggregate of 29,374,020 shares of common stock will be available for purchase in the offering. Former holders of the Company's Series E Convertible Preferred Stock who purchased common stock in the recently completed PIPE transaction or acquired shares of common stock upon conversion of their preferred stock have waived their rights to participate in the offering in order to maximize the number of shares available for purchase by the Company's other stockholders.
The record date for the rights offering will be established shortly before the anticipated effective date of the Registration Statement, and the subscription rights will be issued as soon as practicable after the effective date. The offering is expected to be open for 30 days, unless extended.
This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy these securities.
