GFL Environmental Files IPO Statement

Toronto-based GFL Environmental Inc.—together with GFL Environmental Holdings Inc.—has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a preliminary base PREP prospectus for a proposed initial public offering (IPO) of subordinate voting shares concurrently in the United States and Canada. The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the IPO have not yet been determined.

Last month, GFL announced its plans to raise up to $1.98 billion Canadian ($1.5 billion USD) for an IPO this fall. The registration statement relating to the proposed IPO has not yet become effective, and the preliminary base PREP prospectus is still subject to completion or amendment.
