CINCINNATI, Dec. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quipt Home Medical Corp. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: QIPT; TSX: QIPT), a U.S. based home medical equipment provider, focused on end-to-end respiratory care, today announced that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 (the “Registration Statement”) with the United States ‎Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S./Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System‎. The Shelf Prospectus and Registration Statement, when made final and effective, will enable the Company to offer up to C$300,000,000 of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, warrants to acquire any of the securities that are described in the Shelf Prospectus‎, subscription receipts, and units comprised of any one or more of any of the other securities that are described in the Shelf Prospectus‎, or any combination thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) at any time during the 25-month period that the Shelf Prospectus remains effective.

The Shelf Prospectus will enable the Company to access new capital or issue securities in connection with strategic acquisitions if and when needed. The amount and timing of any future offerings or issuances will be based on the Company’s financial requirements and market conditions at that time.

The filing of the Shelf Prospectus replaces and is made for the purpose of restoring the original financing capacity of C$200,000,000 which was available to the Company under its previous short form base shelf prospectus dated November 11, 2021 that expired on December 13, 2023 and the filing of the Registration Statement replaced the Company’s previous registration statement on Form F-10 that was declared effective on November 15, 2021, plus an additional C$100,000,00 resulting in a total offering amount of up to C$300,000,000.

The terms of future offerings or issuances under the Shelf Prospectus, the intended use of the net proceeds resulting from such offerings and the terms of the Securities to be offered, if any, will be established at the time of any such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the applicable Canadian securities commissions at the time of such an offering.
