BELLEVUE, Wash., Aug. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trilogy International Partners Inc., (“TIP Inc.”), (TSX: TRL), an international wireless, fixed, and broadband telecommunications operator, today announced that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with securities regulatory authorities in Canada, other than Québec, and a corresponding shelf registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form F-10.
These filings will, subject to securities regulatory requirements, provide for the potential offering in Canada and the United States by TIP Inc. and selling shareholders of up to an aggregate of US$500 million of TIP Inc.’s common shares, warrants, units, debt securities, subscription receipts and share purchase contracts from time to time over a 25-month period after Canadian securities regulatory authorities have issued a receipt for the final short form base shelf prospectus and the registration statement has become effective. This shelf prospectus is being filed to give TIP Inc. the flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities when market conditions are favorable, and is also being filed pursuant to TIP Inc.’s obligation to provide resale registration rights for its common shares issued or which may be issued upon redemption of Class C Units of its subsidiary, Trilogy International Partners LLC (“Trilogy LLC”), as well as resale registration rights relating to certain other common shares of TIP Inc. The terms of such future offerings, if any, will be established at the time of such offerings. At the time any of the securities covered by the shelf prospectus are offered for sale, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of any such offering will be filed with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the SEC.
The shelf registration statement filed today with the SEC has not yet become effective. No securities may be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press 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.
A copy of the preliminary short form base shelf prospectus can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and (with the registration statement) on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
