Costamare Inc. Files Shelf Registration Statement
ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2013) - Costamare
Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: CMRE) announced today that it has filed
a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The registration statement
only covers new issuances by the Company. It is not available
for sales by members of the Konstantakopoulos family, the principal
stockholders of the Company, as they do not have any current
intention to sell their shares.
The shelf registration statement, when declared effective by the
SEC, will give the Company the ability to offer and sell up to
$300,000,000 of its securities consisting of common stock,
preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and
units. After the shelf registration statement becomes
effective, the Company may offer and sell such securities from time
to time and through one or more methods of distribution, subject to
market conditions and the Company's capital needs. The terms
of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be
established at the time of such offering and will be described in a
prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to completion of the
offering.
The registration statement relating to these securities has been
filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These
securities may not 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 the
solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of
these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.
A copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement
may be obtained on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on the
Company's website listed below. In addition, the Company would
file a prospectus supplement with the SEC in connection with any
offering under the shelf registration statement. The
information on the Company's website is not a part of the
registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement
which may be issued under the registration statement.
