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, which expires March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2024, $3.1 billion of securities were available for issuance under this shelf registration statement.
We have 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 March 31, 2026 (including shares of common stock that may be sold pursuant to forward sale agreements entered into concurrently with the ATM equity sales program).
During the six months ended March 31, 2024, we executed forward sales under our ATM equity sales program with various forward sellers who borrowed and sold 5,917,899 shares of our common stock at an aggregate price of $678.9 million. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, we also settled forward sale agreements with respect to 2,144,558 shares that had been borrowed and sold by various forward sellers under the ATM program for net proceeds of $254.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, $81.6 million of equity was available for issuance under our existing ATM program. Additionally, we had $889.7 million in available proceeds from outstanding forward sale agreements, as detailed below.

Deferred gains (losses) for our available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in earnings upon settlement, while deferred gains (losses) related to our interest rate agreement cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the life of the related financing.
