Common Share Authorization

In April 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to its charter to increase the total number of shares of common stock that the Company has the authority to issue from 45,000,000 shares to 90,000,000 shares.

Shelf Registration

In June 2017, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, registering an unspecified amount of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants at an indeterminant aggregate initial offering price. 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 underwritten 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 $108.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

In March 2018, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 3,450,000 shares of common stock, which included the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 450,000 shares of common stock, in connection with a forward sale agreement.  The offering, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, was settled in its entirety in September 2018.  Upon settlement the Company issued 3,450,000 shares and received net proceeds of $160.2 million after deducting fees and expenses.

In September 2018, the Company entered into a follow-on public offering of 3,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with a forward sale agreement (the “September 2018 Forward”).  The September 2018 Forward was settled in its entirety in April 2019.   Upon settlement the Company issued 3,450,000 shares and received net proceeds of $186.0 million, after deducting fees and expenses.  

In April 2019, the Company entered into a follow-on public offering to sell an aggregate of 3,162,500 shares of common stock (the “April 2019 Forward”). The Company settled the entirety of the April 2019 Forward on December 30, 2019 and received net proceeds of approximately $195.8 million, after deducting fees and expenses.

ATM Program

In July 2019, the Company entered into a $400.0 million at-the-market equity program (the “2019 ATM Program”) through which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock. In addition to selling shares of common stock, the Company may enter into forward sale agreements through the 2019 ATM Program. During 2019, the Company issued 444,228 shares under the 2019 ATM Program, at an average price of $74.30, realizing gross proceeds of $33.0 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, and the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 3,057,263 and 886,768 shares of common stock, respectively, under a previously authorized $250.0 million ATM program (the “2018 ATM Program”), at average prices of $59.28 and $66.83, respectively, realizing gross proceeds of approximately $181.2 million and $59.3 million, respectively.  No future issuances will occur under the 2018 ATM Program.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into forward sale agreements in connection with the 2019 ATM Program to sell an aggregate of 2,003,118 shares of common stock (the “ATM Forward Offerings”). To date, no shares from the ATM Forward Offerings have been settled.  The ATM Forward Offerings are required to be settled by certain dates in December 2020.  

After considering shares already sold under the 2019 ATM Program including the outstanding ATM Forward Offerings, the Company had $220.1 million of availability remaining under the 2019 ATM Program as of December 31, 2019.

During 2019, the Company redesignated and reclassified all 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of its Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as authorized but unissued and unclassified shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Company without further designation. The number of preferred shares the Company has the authority to issue remains at 4,000,000, all of which are unclassified and undesignated.
