Stock
Authorized
As of September 30, 2025, we have the authority to issue 1,400,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 1,350,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.
Public Offerings
From time to time, we offer shares of our common stock through public offerings registered with the SEC. In connection with such offerings, we may issue and sell the offered shares of common stock upon settlement of the offering or, alternatively, enter into forward sale agreements with respect to all or a portion of the shares of common stock sold in such public offerings, pursuant to which the offered shares are borrowed by the forward sale purchasers and the issuance of such shares takes place upon settlement of the applicable forward sale agreement in accordance with its terms. There were no marketed public offerings of our common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
At-the-Market Offering Program
On May 6, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $2.0 billion of our common stock and concurrently terminated our previous equity distribution agreement (collectively under both equity distribution agreements, the “ATM Program”). Sales of common stock, if any, made pursuant to the ATM Program may be sold in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The ATM Program also provides that we may sell shares of our common stock under the ATM Program through forward sale agreements. Actual sales under the ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs.
The following table summarizes our transactions under the ATM Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, all of which were sold subject to forward sale agreements, which we refer to as ATM forward sale agreements.

We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the time we entered into each of the ATM forward sale agreements. We determined that the ATM forward sale agreements meet the criteria for equity classification and, therefore, are exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the ATM forward sale agreements at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.
As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately 7.8 million forward shares remaining to be settled under our ATM Program. The net forward sales price per share of forward shares sold under the ATM Program was $31.60 and would result in us receiving approximately $244.9 million in net cash proceeds if we were to physically settle the shares. Alternatively, if we were to cash settle the shares under the ATM forward sale agreements, it would result in a cash payment of $7.8 million, or, if we were to net share settle the shares under the ATM forward sale agreements, it would result in us issuing approximately 240,462 shares of common stock.
