CBRE Realty Finance, Inc. Files $300 Million Shelf Registration Statement
HARTFORD, Conn., May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CBRE Realty Finance,
Inc. (NYSE: CBF) today announced that it has filed a primary shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
for the offering and sale from time to time of up to $300 million of equity
securities. The timing of any such offering or sale will be determined by
management based on their evaluation of business and market conditions, among
other factors. The nature and terms of any securities to be offered and sold
under the registration statement will be established at the time of sale and
will be described in related prospectus supplements to be filed with the SEC
from time to time.
Kenneth J. Witkin, president and chief executive officer, commented, "As
we indicated in November 2007, we are moving forward with our shelf
registration. While we have no near term intention to issue the equity off
the shelf, we believe it will provide us with flexibility to access the public
equity capital markets at such times as we deem appropriate."
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 such securities 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 these
securities 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 such jurisdiction.
