The company said that it filed the shelf prospectus to boost its financial flexibility, particularly through “the ability to offer securities on an accelerated basis to fund current and future growth of the business.”

“MCAN continues to grow its business as evidenced by an increase in our corporate assets of 17% year to date," said Karen Weaver, president and chief executive officer of MCAN. “The shelf prospectus allows us to access capital when needed to fund future growth. The shelf prospectus also offers the flexibility for diversification and expansion of our funding sources in the near term as we look to evolve our capital markets and other funding strategies.”
