Common Shares Issuance

In March 2021, the Company issued 17.25 million common shares resulting in net proceeds of $225.3 million.  

Common Shares – Continuous Equity Program

In June 2021, the Company offered and sold 980,396 common shares on a forward basis under its $250 million continuous equity program at a weighted-average forward price of $15.09 per share generating expected gross proceeds before issuance costs of $14.8 million.  The actual proceeds to be received by the Company will vary depending upon the settlement date, the number of shares designated for settlement on that settlement date and the method of settlement. The forward equity sale agreement provides that the forward price will be subsequently adjusted for a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate plus a spread and scheduled

dividends during the term of the agreement. The transaction may be settled at any time before the settlement date, July 1, 2022. Under limited circumstances or certain unanticipated events, the forward purchaser also has the ability to require the Company to physically settle the forward equity sale agreement in shares prior to the settlement date. The Company intends to use proceeds received upon settlement of the transaction to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not settled any portion of the transaction. The agreement to offer and sell shares on a forward basis is accounted for as an equity instrument. The fair value will not be adjusted so long as the Company continues to meet the accounting requirements for equity instruments.

Preferred Shares

In April 2021, the Company redeemed all $150.0 million aggregate liquidation preference of its Class K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Class K Preferred Shares”) at a redemption price of $500 per Class K Preferred Share (or $25.00 per depositary share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends of $7.2049 per Class K Preferred Share (or $0.3602 per depositary share).  The Company recorded a charge of $5.1 million to net income attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2021, which represents the difference between the redemption price and the carrying amount immediately prior to redemption, which was recorded to additional paid in capital upon original issuance.
