Common Share Issuances: Eversource has an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which it may offer and sell up to $1.2 billion of its common shares from time to time through an “at-the-market” (ATM) equity offering program. Eversource may issue and sell its common shares through its sales agents during the term of this agreement. Shares may be offered in transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise. Sales may be made at either market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In the first nine months of 2024, Eversource issued 13.3 million common shares, which resulted in proceeds of $830.2 million, net of issuance costs. Eversource used the net proceeds received for general corporate purposes. In 2023, no shares were issued under this agreement. Treasury Shares: As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 9,385,018 and 10,443,807 Eversource common shares held as treasury shares, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there we re 363,891,973 and 349,540,266 Eversource common shares outstanding, respectively. Eversource issues treasury shares to satisfy awards under the Company's incentive plans, shares issued under the dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan, and matching contributions under the Eversource 401k Plan. The issuance of treasury shares represents a non-cash transaction, as the treasury shares were used to fulfill Eversource's obligations that require the issuance of common shares. COMMON SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Dividends on the preferred stock of CL&P and NSTAR Electric totaled $1.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $5.6 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

On the Eversource balance sheets, Common Shareholders' Equity was fully attributable to Eversource parent and Noncontrolling Interest – Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries was fully attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
