Common Stock
Public Offering of Common Stock—On November 1, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 15.9 million newly issued shares of its common stock at a price of $32.00, resulting in gross proceeds of $507.8 million. The proceeds were used to fund acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2024.
At-The-Market Offering—On August 29, 2024, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $750.0 million in aggregate offering price of its common stock through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “New ATM Program”) and terminated its previous $500.0 million “at-the-market” equity offering program (together, with all previous at-the-market equity offering programs, the “Previous ATM Programs” and together with the New ATM Program, the “ATM Program”). In addition to the issuance and sale of shares of its common stock, the ATM Program also provides for the ability to enter into one or more forward sales agreements (each, an “ATM forward contract”) with sales agents for the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock under the ATM Program.
The Company expects to fully physically settle forward equity sales by delivery of shares of common stock to the forward purchaser and receive cash proceeds upon one or more settlement dates, which are typically a one-year term, at the Company’s discretion, prior to the final settlement date, at which time the Company expects to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares sold on a forward basis multiplied by the relevant forward price per share. The weighted average forward sale price that the Company expects to receive upon physical settlement will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchaser’s stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends through the settlement. There were no outstanding ATM forward contracts that had not settled as of December 31, 2024.
The following tables summarize ATM Program activity (or activity under any predecessor at-the-market equity offering programs) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Arrangements with noncontrolling interest holders are assessed for appropriate balance sheet classification based on the redemption and other rights held by the noncontrolling interest holder. One of the Company’s noncontrolling interest holders has the ability to put its equity interest to the Company during specified option exercise periods, subject to certain conditions. The put option is payable in cash and subject to changes in redemption value. Accordingly, the Company records the redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted for additional contributions and distributions and the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses. When the redemption of the noncontrolling interest becomes probable, the Company will record the redeemable noncontrolling interest at the greater of its carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period by making an election either to accrete changes in the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest over the period from the date it is probable of exercise to the earliest redemption date or to recognize the entire adjustment on the date redemption becomes probable. In addition to the rights of the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder, the Company has the ability to call the interest of the noncontrolling interest holder during specified option exercise periods.
As of December 31, 2024, the redeemable noncontrolling interest did not meet the conditions for redemption.
