Jazz Pharmaceuticals Files Form S-3 Registration Statements
The universal shelf registration statement is intended to provide Jazz Pharmaceuticals with flexibility to raise funds from the offering of its securities in one or more offerings, subject to market conditions and the company's capital needs.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals also announced the filing of two resale registration statements on Form S-3 to register: (i) the resale of shares of the company's common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants issued in connection with Jazz Pharmaceuticals' private placement of senior secured notes completed in March 2008, as well as shares of the company's common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants that may be issued in the event of additional issuances of senior secured notes under the same facility; and (ii) the resale of shares of the company's common stock that may be issued upon the company's election to draw down funds pursuant to the committed equity financing facility entered into with Kingsbridge Capital Limited in May 2008, as well as the common stock issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant issued to Kingsbridge in connection with the transaction. If and when declared effective by the SEC, the resale registration statements will allow the selling securityholders named therein to publicly resell shares of the company's common stock issuable pursuant to the committed equity financing facility and upon the exercise of the above-referenced warrants, as applicable. Written prospectuses, when available, may be obtained from Jazz Pharmaceuticals at 3180 Porter Drive, Palo Alto, California 94304, Attention: Investor Relations.
The registration statements relating to these securities have been filed with the SEC but have not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the applicable registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
