NJR satisfies its external common equity requirements, if any, through issuances of its common stock, including the proceeds from stock issuances under its DRP. The DRP allows NJR, at its option, to use treasury shares or newly issued shares to raise capital. On December 14, 2015, NJR registered 5 million shares of NJR common stock for issuance under the DRP. NJR raised $3.8 million of equity through the DRP for both the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, by issuing approximately 127,000 and 148,000 shares, respectively. NJR also raised approximately $19.8 million of equity by issuing approximately 688,000 new shares through the waiver discount feature of the DRP during the three months ended December 31, 2014. NJR issued no new shares through the waiver discount feature of the DRP during the three months ended December 31, 2015. All fiscal 2015 share data has been adjusted for the March 2015 stock split.
