ROCK HILL, South Carolina – February 24, 2010 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Systems and Parts Solutions, announced today that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 providing for the offer and sale from time to time of up to $75 million of securities, including equity, debt and other securities as described in the registration statement.
The Company believes that filing a shelf registration statement is an efficient means to enable access to capital markets and to maximize its financial flexibility. However, the Company does not currently have any commitments or intentions to sell securities. As indicated in the registration statement, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from any offering that it may make under the registration statement to finance future acquisitions and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of future indebtedness.
The registration statement has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy these securities be accepted prior to the time the shelf 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.
Any offering of the securities covered under the shelf registration statement will be made solely by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offering.
