Recently, American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC) announced an offering of 50 million equity shares. Gross proceeds from the offering are expected to be $1.58 billion, excluding expenses. The company intends to use this amount to obtain additional agency securities as market conditions warrant and for other corporate purposes.
To cover any over-allotments, American Capital plans to offer a 30-day option to the underwriters to purchase an additional 7.5 million shares. The offering is expected to close on Mar 5, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Inc (C), BofA Merrill Lynch of Bank of America Corporation (BAC), The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as joint book-running managers for the public offering.
We expect that the offering would aid the company achieve financial flexibility and position it favorably to pursue investment opportunities, which will go a long way in improving the top-line growth. However, the resulting impact of share dilution cannot be ignored.
