LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE American:INUV), an advertising technology company, today announced that it has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to replace the shelf that expired in the second quarter of 2017.
The Company has no immediate plans to offer securities under the registration statement. The Company has maintained an unused active shelf registration for the last three years. The Company believes it to be both a prudent and fiscally responsible corporate governance practice to have an active shelf registration. Consistent with the expired shelf registration statement, the current shelf would allow for future offerings of securities up to a total amount of $15 million, subject to all the customary SEC and board approvals.
The shelf registration statement has been filed with the SEC but has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. The securities being registered may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, until 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 state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under its securities laws. Any offering of the securities covered under the shelf registration statements will be made solely by means of the prospectus included in the relevant registration statement and any applicable prospectus supplement issued with respect to any offering.
