• New $400M ATM Program

  PECO entered into a sales agreement for a new $400 million at-the-market equity offering, replacing its prior $250 million ATM program that had $84.6 million remaining unsold.

• Expanded Syndicate & Forward Sales

  The program includes 15 agents and introduces forward sale agreements with 12 Forward Purchasers, allowing PECO to sell shares on a forward basis and potentially delay dilution.

• Use of Proceeds

  Net proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under the $1.0 billion revolving credit facility ($82 million outstanding as of July 31, 2026), fund acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes.

• Recent Equity Issuance Context

  In Q2 2026, PECO issued $85.3 million in equity via its prior ATM program, contributing to a 7.8% year-over-year Core FFO increase and raised full-year guidance.

Phillips Edison has replaced its existing $250 million at-the-market equity program with a new $400 million facility, boosting available capacity by $315.4 million after accounting for the $84.6 million that remained unsold under the prior program. The syndicate now includes 15 agents, and forward sale agreements have been introduced—a mechanism that can defer dilution but also creates potential future overhang. The move follows a quarter in which the company raised guidance and issued $85.3 million under the old ATM, signaling continued appetite for equity-funded growth. While dilution remains a risk, the program offers flexible capital for acquisitions and debt repayment, supporting the grocery-anchored shopping center strategy.
