In April 2017, the Company entered into a new $200.0 million at-the-market equity program (“ATM program”) through which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock. The Company uses the proceeds generated from its ATM program for general corporate purposes, including funding our investment activity, the repayment or refinancing of outstanding indebtedness, working capital and other general purposes.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 589,093 shares of common stock under its ATM program at a weighted average price of $49.58, realizing gross proceeds of approximately $29.2 million.

In May 2017, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, registering an unspecified amount at an indeterminant aggregate initial offering price of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. The Company may periodically offer one or more of these securities in amounts, prices and on terms to be announced when and if these securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

In June 2017, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 2,415,000 shares of common stock. The offering, which included the full exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters, raised net proceeds of approximately $108.2 million, after deducting the underwriting discount.
