This 424B5 prospectus supplement finalizes the terms for UDR, Inc. to sell up to 14,016,954 shares of common stock through an at-the-market (ATM) program. This represents a substantial potential dilution of approximately 4.27% of currently outstanding shares. While the ATM program itself was established in 2021 and amended in 2023, this filing indicates the company is now actively offering these previously registered but unsold shares. The proceeds are intended for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment and acquisitions, which provides financial flexibility but also creates an overhang on the stock due to the potential for continuous share sales.
