Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Equity Sales Agreement
On October 1, 2025, Curbline Properties Corp. (the “Company”) and Curbline Properties LP (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Equity Sales Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc. and StoneX Financial Inc., as sales agents (except in the case of Nomura Securities International, Inc. and StoneX Financial Inc.), principals (except in the case of Nomura Securities International, Inc. and StoneX Financial Inc.) and/or forward sellers (except in the case of BTIG, LLC and Capital One Securities, Inc.) (in any such capacity, each an “Agent,” and collectively, the “Agents”) and the Forward Purchasers (as defined below). Pursuant to the Equity Sales Agreement, shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000,000 (the “Shares”) may be offered and sold from time to time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Sales Agreement, the Agents will act as the Company’s sales agents or, when acting as forward sellers (except in the case of BTIG, LLC and Capital One Securities, Inc.), as agents for the relevant Forward Purchaser, in connection with any offerings of Shares. The Company may also sell Shares to an Agent as principal for its own account. The Company also entered into separate master forward confirmations on October 1, 2025 (each, a “Master Forward Confirmation”) between the Company and each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, The Bank of New York Mellon, Bank of America, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. and StoneX Financial Inc., each as forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser,” and collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”).
The sales, if any, of the Shares under the Equity Sales Agreement will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or as otherwise agreed to with the applicable Agent.
The Company and the Operating Partnership entered into the Equity Sales Agreement in connection with the filing of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290653), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 1, 2025, which became immediately effective upon filing, and a prospectus supplement dated October 1, 2025, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.
The Equity Sales Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Shares through the Agents, the Company may enter into one or more separate forward sale agreements pursuant to a Master Forward Confirmation and related supplemental confirmations. If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any Forward Purchaser, we expect that such Forward Purchaser or one of its affiliates will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the relevant Agent, acting as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser (in such capacity, a “Forward Seller”), shares of our common stock to hedge such Forward Purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. We will not initially receive any proceeds from any sale of borrowed shares of our common stock through an Agent, acting as Forward Seller.
We currently expect to fully physically settle each forward sale agreement, if any, with the relevant Forward Purchaser on one or more dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such forward sale agreement, in which case we expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds on each settlement date equal to the number of Shares underlying such forward sale agreement that are being settled multiplied by the relevant forward sale price per share. However, subject to certain exceptions, we may also elect, in our sole discretion, to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any forward sale agreement, in which case we may not receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and we may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to the relevant Forward Purchaser.
The Agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Company’s common stock, but each Agent will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Sales Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable laws and regulations, to sell the Shares designated by the Company and, in the case of shares of its common stock offered through such Agent as Forward Seller, the relevant Forward Purchaser from time to time. Each Agent will receive from the Company a commission that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the gross sales price of shares of our common stock sold through it as the Company’s sales agent. In connection with each forward sale agreement, we will pay the applicable Agent, as Forward Seller, a commission, in the form of a reduction to the initial forward sale price under the related forward sale agreement, at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the initial forward sale price. The initial forward sale price is based on the gross sales price of the borrowed shares of our common stock sold through such Agent, as Forward Seller, during the applicable forward selling
