Tuesday, June 08, 1999
Royal Ahold, the international food retailer, and its US affiliate Ahold Finance U.S.A., Inc., have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission, to restore the shelf to USD 3.0 billion.
The filing was made to replace the USD 1.0 billion which was used for Ahold's Yankee Bond offering in April 1999. Ahold has previously filed shelf registration statements. At this moment in time, neither Ahold nor Ahold Finance U.S.A., Inc., intend to issue registered financing instruments under this filing.
