CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRTG) ("Heritage" or the "Company"), a property and casualty insurance holding company, announced that it has filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). If and when declared effective by the SEC, the shelf registration statement will allow Heritage to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $400 million of various types of debt and equity securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt, warrants and units.

"We have no immediate plans of issuing any equity securities pursuant to the shelf registration in the near future. Shelf registration filings are common for public companies following the first anniversary of their IPO," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bruce Lucas.

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 that the registration statement becomes effective. Following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement, Heritage may periodically offer one or more of the registered securities in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when, and if, the securities are offered. The terms of any securities offered under the registration statement, and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting therefrom, will be established at the times of the offerings and will be described in prospectus supplements filed with the SEC at the times of the offerings. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
