Emera Renews At-The-Market Equity Program

Key Terms

at-the-market equity program financial

An at-the-market equity program lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market at the current trading price through a broker, rather than in a single, prearranged block. It provides flexible, on-demand access to cash—like drawing small amounts from a credit line—but increases the number of shares outstanding, which can reduce existing shareholders’ ownership percentage and put downward pressure on the stock price, so investors monitor program size and pacing.

treasury financial

The treasury is the department or area within a government or organization responsible for managing its money, finances, and financial strategies. It handles tasks like collecting revenue, paying bills, and planning for future financial needs, much like a household manages its budget. For investors, understanding the treasury is important because it influences interest rates, government spending, and overall economic stability.

equity distribution agreement financial

An equity distribution agreement is a formal plan between a company and financial institutions to sell newly issued shares of the company's stock to investors over a period of time. It helps the company raise money gradually, similar to filling a container with water in stages, rather than all at once. For investors, it provides an organized way to buy shares and can influence the stock's supply and price.

prospectus supplement regulatory

A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.

short form base shelf prospectus regulatory

A short form base shelf prospectus is a pre-approved, reusable document that lets a company register a pool of securities (like stocks or bonds) it can sell over time without repeating a full disclosure process each time. Think of it as a menu the company files once so it can quickly offer items from that menu later; investors care because it speeds up capital raises, can dilute existing holdings, and signals the company’s ability to access funding when needed.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Emera Incorporated (“Emera” or the “Company”) (TSX/NYSE: EMA) announced today that it has renewed its at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) that allows the Company to issue up to C$600,000,000 of common shares (the “Common Shares”) from treasury to the public from time to time at varying prices, at the Company's discretion. Any Common Shares sold in the ATM Program will be sold through the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other marketplace on which the Common Shares are listed, quoted or otherwise traded (collectively, the “Marketplaces”) at the time of sale.
