Share Repurchase Program
On February 17, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's outstanding common shares under a share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 3.9 million shares under the repurchase program at an average price of $23.36 per share for a total of $90.0 million. These shares were removed from issued and outstanding but remain authorized. Subsequent to quarter end, on April 28, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the total amount authorized under the repurchase program to $500 million, of which $410 million remains available for repurchase.
ATM Program
In 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement ("EDA") with six financial institutions, known as an at-the-market stock offering program ("ATM Program"), under which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500 million. In connection with the ATM Program, the Company may, at its discretion, enter into forward equity sale agreements. The use of a forward equity sale agreement ("Forward Sales") would allow the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares of its common stock at the time the agreement is executed but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date, allowing the Company to better align such funding with its capital needs. Sales of shares of the Company's stock through its banking relationships, if any, are made in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time, but the Company has no obligation to sell any of the shares in the offering and may suspend sales in connection with the offering at any time. Sales of the Company's common stock under Forward Sales, if undertaken, meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception as the contracts are related to the Company's own stock. In 2024, the Company filed a Form S-3 to renew the registration of its authorized shares. In conjunction with that Form S-3 filing, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to allow for the continued issuance of shares under this ATM Program.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not sell any shares under Forward Sales contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold 2.1 million shares under Forward Sales contracts at an average price of $30.43 per share, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold 2.9 million shares under Forward Sales contracts at an average price of $30.44 per share. These Forward Sales contracts had an initial maturity date of December 31, 2025, which was extended to December 31, 2026, by mutual agreement of each party. The future settlement proceeds, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net of $894,000 of commissions, were $88.5 million. Prior to the Forward Sales executed during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had settled 2.6 million shares under the ATM Program and generated cash proceeds of $101.4 million, net of $1.1 million of commissions, $1.7 million of dividends owed during the period the Forward Sales were outstanding, and $900,000 of other transaction related costs. Of the aggregate gross sales price of up to $500 million available to be sold under the EDA for the current ATM program, the Company had $305.6 million remaining as of March 31, 2026.
To the extent, prior to settlement, shares sold under Forward Sales were potentially dilutive during the period under the treasury stock method, the impact of such dilution is disclosed in the calculation included in note 14. The Company did not settle any shares under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or the year ended December 31, 2025.
