ROYAL GOLD'S SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENTS DECLARED EFFECTIVE BY U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION |
|
DENVER, COLORADO. JULY 15, 2004: ROYAL GOLD, INC. (NASDAQ:RGLD; TSX:RGL) today announced that its universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and its acquisition shelf registration statement on Form S-4 that were filed on December 23, 2003, with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") were declared effective as of July 6, 2004. The Company stated, however, that it has no immediate plans to offer any securities pursuant to these registration statements, at this time. To affect any sales from either of these registration statements, the Company will file with the SEC one or more supplements to the prospectus included in the registration statements on Forms S-3 or S-4, which will provide details of any proposed offering. |
|
A shelf registration gives a company flexibility in the timing and amount of an offering or acquisition transaction. Royal Gold expects to use the proceeds from the sale of securities under the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for the acquisition of additional projects or royalty interests, working capital and general corporate purposes. Shares issued in conjunction with the registration statement on Form S-4 will be used for royalty acquisitions or acquisition of other businesses, assets, properties or companies. |
|
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. |
|
