Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The company amended its existing At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (originally dated May 13, 2020, and amended February 26, 2021) to:
- Refresh Capacity: Reset the aggregate offering price to $500,000,000.
- Add New Agents: Added Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to the existing group of agents.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to use the ATM Program to sell shares from time to time, either as agents or principals, depending on market conditions. The company retains the right to suspend solicitation and offers at any time. Sales may occur via "at-the-market" offerings, block trades, or negotiated transactions. The filing notes that actual sales depend on various factors to be determined by the company.
