FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Image Sensing Systems Files $15 Million Shelf Registration
Saint Paul, Minn., November 2, 2009 — Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISNS), announced today that it has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The shelf registration statement, when declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will allow Image Sensing Systems the flexibility to offer and sell from time to time in the future, in one or more public offerings, up to approximately $15 million of common stock. The specifics of any future offering, along with the prices, terms and the use of proceeds of any such securities offered, will be determined at the time of any such offering, and will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement filed at the time of any such offering.
Ken Aubrey, President and CEO, said, “This filing is intended to give us flexibility in the capital raising process and provide us the opportunity to move quickly into the capital markets now and in the intermediate term in support of our stated acquisition strategy.”
The shelf registration statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. The securities registered may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. Image Sensing Systems has no current commitments to raise capital under this shelf registration statement.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. An offering of the securities covered by the registration statement will only be by means of a written prospectus supplement.
