• New $7.5B ATM Program

  Welltower entered into an equity distribution agreement for an at-the-market program to sell up to $7.5 billion of common stock from time to time, replacing a prior $8.9B ATM program dated October 28, 2025.

• Forward Sale Feature

  The program includes forward sale agreements, allowing Welltower to sell shares through forward purchasers and settle at future dates, potentially deferring dilution but locking in pricing.

• Resale Registration

  A prospectus supplement was filed to register the resale of up to 261,753 shares issued as consideration for a recent lease amendment, a minor component relative to the ATM.

• Prior Program Context

  This new ATM replaces a prior $8.9B program from October 2025, which was disclosed in the April 2026 proxy statement. The new program resets the equity distribution capacity.

A new equity distribution agreement gives Welltower the ability to sell up to $7.5 billion in common stock through an at-the-market (ATM) program, replacing the prior $8.9B ATM from October 2025. The company also filed a resale prospectus for up to 261,753 shares issued as consideration for a lease amendment. While the new ATM provides substantial equity capital flexibility, its sheer size—$7.5B—creates a meaningful overhang. The program includes forward sale agreements, which can delay dilution but still represent potential future issuance. The resale registration is minor in comparison.
