Dusa Pharmaceuticals files shelf registration

Dusa Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Wilmington company that makes dermatology products, said today that it has filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer up to $75 million of securities.

The registration enables the company to raise funds from the sale of its securities in one or more offerings, subject to market conditions and Dusa's capital needs.

Dusa said it has no immediate plans to raise funds.

Shares remained unchanged from yesterday's close at $2.22 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. (AP)
