CMS Energy Corporation is starting an equity offering program that allows sales of up to $3,000,000,000 of its common stock from time to time. The program is established under an equity distribution agreement with multiple banks acting as agents, forward purchasers and forward sellers.
Shares may be sold in ordinary brokerage trades, block trades, privately negotiated deals or transactions deemed “at the market offerings” under Rule 415. CMS Energy may also use forward sale transactions, where it initially receives no proceeds from borrowed share sales and later chooses physical, cash or net share settlement, and can suspend or terminate the program at any time.
