American Capital Agency Corp. expects to offer 12,500,000 shares to the public at the proposed initial public offering price of $20.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $250 million. The Company will grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,875,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts, to cover over-allotments, if any. American Capital Agency Corp. has received approval, subject to official notice of issuance, to list its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "AGNC."
