NJR raised $9.9 million and $9.7 million of equity through the DRP, by issuing approximately 242,000 and 279,000 shares of treasury stock, during the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, NJR raised approximately $22.7 million of equity by issuing approximately 554,000 new shares through the waiver discount feature of the DRP.
