Stockholders' Equity In August 2015, we completed an underwritten public offering of 8,600,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $25.25 per share, of which 4,300,000 shares are subject to a forward sale agreement described below. The offering of 4,300,000 shares of our common stock (shares not subject to the forward sale agreement) resulted in initial net proceeds of approximately $104.5 million (after deducting fees and expenses related to the offering). The underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase 1,290,000 additional shares of common stock, which is subject to a separate forward sale agreement. Settlement of the forward sale agreements will occur on one or more dates occurring no later than 12 months after August 12, 2015, the closing date of the offering. We used the net proceeds from the offering for a contribution to the capital and surplus of American Equity Life. If we elect to exercise our rights to physically settle the forward sales agreements, we intend to use the net proceeds from the settlement for general corporate purposes, including contributions to the capital and surplus of our life insurance subsidiaries to support their continued growth and maintain desired financial strength ratings. The forward sale agreements had no initial fair value since they were entered into at the then market price of the common stock. The forward sale agreements are equity instruments and they qualify for an exception from derivative and fair value accounting.
