PR Newswire (US)
BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Capital
Strategies Ltd. ("American Capital" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ACAS)
announced today it plans to make a public offering of approximately
4 million shares of its common stock, subject to market conditions,
all of which are being offered by Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and UBS Investment Bank
or certain of their respective affiliates (the "Counter- Parties"
and each, a "Counter-Party") in connection with agreements to
purchase common stock from American Capital at a future date. The
Company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an
additional 600,000 shares to cover over-allotments. Morgan Stanley
& Co. Incorporated, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and UBS
Investment Bank are joint book-running managers for the offering.
RBC Capital Markets Corporation, Ferris, Baker Watts, Incorporated
and Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. are the co-managers for the
offering. The offering will be made under American Capital's
existing shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In connection with the offering, American
Capital will enter into agreements (the "Forward Sale Agreements")
with the Counter-Parties under which American Capital will agree to
sell to the Counter-Parties in the aggregate 4 million shares of
common stock (or a smaller number of shares) at the offering price
per share (the "Offering Price"), subject to certain adjustments.
The timing of these sales, which must occur within the next year,
will generally be determined by American Capital. The Company will
physically settle each Forward Sale Agreement by delivering shares
of common stock to the Counter- Party under the relevant Forward
Sale Agreement and such Counter-Party will deliver the Offering
Price subject to certain adjustments to the Company upon each
settlement. In connection with hedging their respective exposures
under the Forward Sale Agreements, the Counter-Parties are expected
to borrow from third party lenders and sell in the aggregate 4
million (or such smaller number of shares that they are able to
borrow) of the offered shares of the Company's common stock at the
close of this offering at the Offering Price. American Capital
expects to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale
of its shares pursuant to over-allotments, and the subsequent sale
of shares under the Forward Sale Agreements, if any, to reduce the
borrowings under American Capital's existing revolving credit
facilities and to fund investments. Reducing borrowings under the
revolving credit facilities will create availability under these
facilities, which will generally be used for funding future
American Capital investments and general corporate purposes. This
press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an
offer to buy shares of common stock. The offering of these
securities will be made only by means of a prospectus and a related
prospectus supplement. When available, copies of the prospectus and
prospectus supplement may be obtained from Morgan Stanley & Co.
