November
24, 2009
CONSHOHOCKEN,
PA – Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE:KWR) today announced that it has filed a
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”). While the Company does not have the present
intention to conduct an offering of securities registered pursuant to the
registration statement, the registration statement, when declared effective by
the SEC, will permit the Company to offer and sell from time to time in one or
more public offerings up to $100 million aggregate dollar amount of its
securities, which may consist of any combination of the Company’s debt
securities, shares of preferred stock (either separately or represented by
depositary shares), common stock and warrants, as well as units that include any
of these securities, on terms, in each case, established at the
time of the offering.
A
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 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 any securities, nor shall there
be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification of such securities under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. Any offering may be made only by means of the
prospectus included in the registration statement and one or more related
prospectus supplements that may be used with respect to such
offering.
