RADIOSHACK CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PROPOSED NOTE OFFERING DUE
2011
Fort Worth, Texas - RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) announced today that it
intends to offer approximately $300 million of intermediate-term, interest
bearing notes due 2011. The Notes will be privately offered only to qualified
institutional buyers under Rule 144A and thus will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes may not be re-offered or resold in
the United States unless they are subsequently registered by RadioShack
Corporation or resold pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state laws. The entire net proceeds from this offering are expected to be used
to repay existing short-term debt.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of such state.
Statements made in this press release which are forward-looking statements
involve risk and uncertainties and are indicated by words such as "intends,"
"will," and other similar words or phrases. These uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, economic conditions, product demand, competitive products and
pricing, availability of products, the regulatory environment,
3
and other risk indicated in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
such as RadioShack's most recent Form 10-K and 10-Q.
