In December 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding common shares through December 31, 2021 (the “Prior Share Repurchase Program”). In January 2022, the Company announced that its Board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2024 (the “Current Share Repurchase Program”). The Current Share Repurchase Program replaced the Prior Share Repurchase Program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no shares were purchased under the Current Share Repurchase Program or Prior Share Repurchase Program.
On August 6, 2020, the Company entered into separate Amended and Restated Distribution Agency Agreements (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Distribution Agency Agreements on August 6, 2021 and Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Distribution Agency Agreements on November 3, 2022, collectively, the “Sales Agreements”) with each of Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreements, the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.5 billion, from time to time through any of the Sales Agents (the “at-the-market sales program”).
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, under the at-the-market sales program, the Company issued 0.9 million and 26.2 million shares for proceeds of $17.8 million and $580.5 million, respectively, each net of commissions and fees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, under the at-the-market sales program, the Company issued 36.8 million and 45.2 million shares for proceeds of $913.9 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, each net of commissions and fees. The 2022 share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company closed the public offering of an original issuance of 25 million shares of common stock for proceeds of $665.0 million before deducting offering expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company closed two public offerings for an aggregate original issuance of 50 million shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $1.31 billion before deducting offering expenses. In connection with each offering, the Company granted the underwriters a thirty-day option to purchase up to an additional 3.75 million shares of common stock, which the underwriters exercised in full in both instances, resulting in an additional $99.8 million and $196.5 million in proceeds before deducting offering expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
