79 retail net lease properties for total acquisition volume of approximately $336.8 million. The acquisitions were completed at a weighted-average capitalization rate of 7.4% and with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 11.1 years.

The dispositions were completed at a weighted-average capitalization rate of 6.9% and further diversified the Company&#39;s portfolio, reducing its Walgreens concentration to 7.7% of annualized base rents.  </p><p><b>Capital Markets Update</b></p><p>During the fourth quarter, the Company issued 1,776,766 shares of common stock through its at-the-market equity program (&#34;ATM program&#34;) at an average price of
$49.03, raising gross proceeds of approximately $87.1 million. </p><p><b>2018 Investment &amp; Disposition Outlook</b></p><p>The Company&#39;s outlook for acquisition volume in 2018, which assumes continued growth in economic activity, moderate interest rate growth, positive business trends and other significant assumptions, is between $250 million and $300 million of retail net lease properties.  The Company&#39;s disposition guidance for 2018 is between $25 million and $50 million.  </p><p><b>CEO Comments</b></p><p>&#34;We are extremely pleased with both our progress in 2017 and our positioning heading into 2018,&#34; said Joey Agree, President and Chief Executive Officer of Agree Realty Corporation.  &#34;During this past year, we executed on a number of strategic initiatives aligned with our objective of constructing the highest-quality retail net lease portfolio.
