DENVER, CO - Apartment Investment and Management Company ("Aimco") (NYSE: AIV) today announced that it has created an At-The-Market ("ATM") offering program through which it could sell up to seven million shares of its Class A Common Stock. The shares would be offered through KeyBanc Capital Markets, BofA Merrill Lynch, and Wells Fargo Securities, who will be acting as sales agents.
"We are fortunate to have no immediate need to sell common shares, as our capital recycling program of selling non-core assets, together with cash flow from operations, continues to fund the cash requirements of our redevelopment and capital expenditure programs, as well as our planned delevering," said Terry Considine, Aimco's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Putting in place the ATM, however, gives us flexibility to access quickly the equity markets to raise capital should there be, for example, an opportunity to fund additional accretive investments."
The ATM program allows Aimco to sell up to seven million shares from time to time through the sales agents. The sales, if any, would be made in "at the market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including privately negotiated transactions.
