Material Changes and Settlement Terms

The filing details the structure of the forward sale agreement and potential settlement outcomes, which represent a material change in the Company's capital structure pending settlement.

  • Expected Settlement: The Company expects to fully physically settle the forward sale agreement on or prior to January 1, 2020.

    • Cash Settlement: The Company may not receive proceeds and may owe cash to the forward purchaser.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary: Management indicated they will present an overview of the Company and provide updated information on the ATM program during upcoming investor presentations.

Risks and Contingencies:

  • Settlement Risk: The ultimate cash proceeds from the forward sale agreement are contingent on the settlement method chosen and the share price at the time of settlement. Cash or net share settlement could result in no proceeds or an obligation to pay cash/shares.
  • Regulatory Status: The information is furnished under Regulation FD and is not deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act unless expressly incorporated by reference.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the final settlement method (physical, cash, or net share) for the forward sale agreement prior to January 1, 2020.
  • Confirm the actual net cash proceeds received upon settlement, as the $47.0 million figure is based on the initial forward price and may vary.
  • Review upcoming investor presentations for updated details on the ATM program usage.
  • Check subsequent filings for any changes in the Company's debt or liquidity position resulting from these equity transactions.
