Unilife Files to Renew Shelf Registration Statement

YORK, Pa., June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Unilife Corporation ("Unilife") (NASDAQ: UNIS, ASX: UNS) today advised that it has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The filing of a shelf registration statement is common practice for U.S.-listed companies and provides for blanket registration of the securities covered by the registration statement, including warrants for 600,000 shares of common stock that were issued to certain contractors in December 2010 in connection with the construction of Unilife's facility in York, Pennsylvania, which warrants were carried over from Unilife's current shelf registration statement.  Unilife's current shelf registration statement has been effective since June 30, 2011.  Under SEC regulations, Unilife must renew its shelf registration statement every three years, and today's filing was made to comply with those regulations.

A copy of the registration statement may be obtained on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
