STANLEYTOWN, Va.--Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. (Nasdaq-NGS:STLY) announced today that it filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a rights offering in which stockholders will receive transferable rights to purchase additional shares of Stanley Furniture common stock, par value $0.02 per share. The rights will be issued to all stockholders as of a record date, which has yet to be determined. The subscription price has also yet to be determined. Stanley Furniture will provide notice of the record date and subscription price in the future at such time as they are determined. Assuming the rights offering is fully subscribed, Stanley Furniture currently expects the gross proceeds of the offering to be approximately $10 million.
The proposed rights offering will also include an over-subscription privilege, which will entitle a stockholder who exercises all of its basic subscription privilege in full the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right. In the event the rights offering is over-subscribed, Stanley Furniture may, in its sole discretion, elect to offer a number of additional shares to fulfill over-subscription requests such that the maximum gross proceeds in the offering would be approximately $12 million.
The number of shares that each stockholder will be able to purchase will depend on the market price of Stanley Furniture’s stock when the subscription price is determined. The offering is expected to commence in September depending on the time required to have the registration statement for the shares and rights declared effective by the SEC.
The shares issued in connection with the rights offering will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and the rights are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market until the day before the expiration of the offering period. The offering period is expected to be approximately 25 days.
The net proceeds of the offering will be used to provide additional liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to provide additional cash resources that may be needed during 2011 in connection with Stanley Furniture’s restructuring plan announced in May 2010.
Stanley Furniture reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel the rights offering at any time prior to the closing of the sale of the shares in the offering.
A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. The securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy the rights or the underlying shares, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
