Shelf Registration, At-the-Market Equity Sales Program and Equity Issuances
We have a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows us to issue up to $5.0 billion in common stock and/or debt securities through June 29, 2024. As of the date of this report, $2.2 billion of securities were available for issuance under this shelf registration statement.
On March 23, 2022, we filed a prospectus supplement under the shelf registration statement relating to an at-the-market (ATM) equity sales program under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $1.0 billion through June 29, 2024 (including shares of common stock that may be sold pursuant to forward sale agreements
entered into concurrently with the ATM equity sales program). This ATM equity sales program replaced our previous ATM equity sales program, filed on June 29, 2021, which was exhausted during our second fiscal quarter.
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we executed forward sales under our ATM equity sales program with various forward sellers who borrowed and sold 7,381,043 shares of our common stock at an aggregate price of $759.8 million. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we also settled forward sale agreements with respect to 6,162,269 shares that had been borrowed and sold by various forward sellers under the ATM program for net proceeds of $594.3 million. As of March 31, 2022, $1.0 billion of equity was available for issuance under our existing ATM program. Additionally, we had $451.3 million in available proceeds from outstanding forward sale agreements, as detailed below.
