UMH Properties (UMH) Enters $150M ATM Agreement

On March 12, 2024, UMH Properties (NYSE: UMH) entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, B. Riley Securities, Inc., Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, as distribution agents (the “Distribution Agents”) under which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.10 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate sales price of up to $150,000,000 from time to time through the Distribution Agents, as agents or principals. Sales of the shares of Common Stock under the Distribution Agreement, if any, will be in “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or to or through a market maker or any other method permitted by law, including, without limitation, negotiated transactions and block trades. The Distribution Agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between the Distribution Agents and the Company. Upon entry into the Distribution Agreement, the Company terminated its prior “at the market” offering of Common Stock. At the time of such termination, approximately $17.8 million of Common Stock remained unsold under such prior offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from sales of shares of Common Stock under the Distribution Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include purchase of manufactured homes for sale or lease to customers, expansion of the Company’s existing communities, potential acquisitions of additional properties, and possible repayment of indebtedness on a short-term basis, including amounts borrowed under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
The Distribution Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Distribution Agents against certain specified liabilities. The Company will pay each Distribution Agent a commission at a mutually agreed rate of up to 2% of the gross sale proceeds from sales of shares of Common Stock under the Distribution Agreement. The offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of Common Stock subject to the Distribution Agreement or (ii) the termination of the Distribution Agreement by the Distribution Agents or the Company in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement
