[8-K] United Fire Group Inc. Reports Material Event
On 5 Aug 2025, LTC Properties, Inc. amended its $400 million at-the-market (ATM) equity distribution agreement originally dated 13 Nov 2024.
The amendment: (i) adds RBC Capital Markets LLC and BTIG LLC as additional sales agents/principals; (ii) designates RBC Capital Markets LLC and Nomura Securities International, Inc. (through BTIG) as additional forward sellers; and (iii) appoints Royal Bank of Canada and Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. as additional forward purchasers under new master forward confirmations (Ex. 99.1).
Concurrently, LTC terminated BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal and Wedbush Securities Inc. from the agreement. Approximately $376.4 million of common stock capacity remains unsold. All other terms, including issuance under Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-283158, are unchanged.
The revision maintains LTC’s ability to raise equity or enter forward sales, though utilization of the remaining capacity could prove dilutive to current shareholders.
Il 5 agosto 2025, LTC Properties, Inc. ha modificato il suo accordo di distribuzione azionaria ATM (at-the-market) da 400 milioni di dollari, originariamente stipulato il 13 novembre 2024.
La modifica: (i) aggiunge RBC Capital Markets LLC e BTIG LLC come agenti/venditori aggiuntivi; (ii) designa RBC Capital Markets LLC e Nomura Securities International, Inc. (attraverso BTIG) come venditori forward aggiuntivi; e (iii) nomina Royal Bank of Canada e Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. come acquirenti forward aggiuntivi secondo nuove conferme master forward (Ex. 99.1).
Contestualmente, LTC ha terminato la collaborazione con BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal e Wedbush Securities Inc. nell’ambito dell’accordo. Rimane una capacità di vendita di azioni ordinarie non ancora utilizzata pari a circa 376,4 milioni di dollari. Tutti gli altri termini, inclusa l’emissione sotto la Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-283158, restano invariati.
La revisione mantiene la possibilità per LTC di raccogliere capitale azionario o effettuare vendite forward, anche se l’utilizzo della capacità residua potrebbe risultare diluitivo per gli azionisti attuali.

Simultáneamente, LTC terminó la relación con BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal y Wedbush Securities Inc. en el acuerdo.

Todos los demás términos, incluida la emisión bajo el Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-283158, permanecen sin cambios.
La revisión mantiene la capacidad de LTC para recaudar capital mediante acciones o realizar ventas a futuro, aunque el uso de la capacidad restante podría resultar dilutivo para los accionistas actuales.
2025년 8월 5일, LTC Properties, Inc.는 2024년 11월 13일에 체결된 4억 달러 규모의 ATM(시장가 매출) 주식 배포 계약을 수정했습니다.
수정 내용은 다음과 같습니다: (i) RBC Capital Markets LLC와 BTIG LLC를 추가 판매 대리인/주체로 포함; (ii) RBC Capital Markets LLC와 Nomura Securities International, Inc.(BTIG를 통해)를 추가 선도 판매자로 지정; (iii) Royal Bank of Canada와 Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc.를 새로운 마스터 선도 확인서(Ex. 99.1)에 따라 추가 선도 구매자로 임명.
동시에, LTC는 BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal 및 Wedbush Securities Inc.를 계약에서 해지했습니다. 약 3억 7,640만 달러 상당의 보통주 잔여 판매 가능 용량이 남아 있습니다. 기타 모든 조건, 포함하여 Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-283158에 따른 발행 조건은 변경되지 않았습니다.
이번 수정으로 LTC는 주식 자본 조달이나 선도 판매를 계속할 수 있으나, 잔여 용량의 활용은 현재 주주들에게 희석 효과를 가져올 수 있습니다.
Le 5 août 2025, LTC Properties, Inc. a modifié son accord de distribution d’actions ATM (at-the-market) d’un montant de 400 millions de dollars, initialement daté du 13 novembre 2024.
L’amendement : (i) ajoute RBC Capital Markets LLC et BTIG LLC en tant qu’agents/vendeurs supplémentaires ; (ii) désigne RBC Capital Markets LLC et Nomura Securities International, Inc. (via BTIG) comme vendeurs à terme supplémentaires ; et (iii) nomme Royal Bank of Canada et Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. comme acheteurs à terme supplémentaires selon de nouvelles confirmations maîtres à terme (Ex. 99.1).
Parallèlement, LTC a résilié BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal et Wedbush Securities Inc. de l’accord. Environ 376,4 millions de dollars de capacité d’actions ordinaires restent non vendus. Tous les autres termes, y compris les émissions sous la déclaration d’enregistrement Shelf No. 333-283158, restent inchangés.
La révision maintient la capacité de LTC à lever des fonds propres ou à effectuer des ventes à terme, bien que l’utilisation de la capacité restante puisse diluer les actionnaires actuels.
Am 5. August 2025 hat LTC Properties, Inc. seine ursprünglich am 13. November 2024 datierte 400-Millionen-Dollar-At-the-Market-(ATM)-Aktienvertriebsvereinbarung geändert.
Die Änderung: (i) fügt RBC Capital Markets LLC und BTIG LLC als zusätzliche Verkaufsagenten/-parteien hinzu; (ii) benennt RBC Capital Markets LLC und Nomura Securities International, Inc. (über BTIG) als zusätzliche Forward-Verkäufer; und (iii) ernennt Royal Bank of Canada und Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. als zusätzliche Forward-Käufer gemäß neuen Master-Forward-Bestätigungen (Ex. 99.1).
Zeitgleich hat LTC BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal und Wedbush Securities Inc. aus der Vereinbarung entlassen. Etwa 376,4 Millionen US-Dollar an unverkaufter Stammaktienkapazität bleiben übrig. Alle anderen Bedingungen, einschließlich der Emission unter dem Shelf Registration Statement Nr. 333-283158, bleiben unverändert.
Die Änderung bewahrt LTCs Fähigkeit, Eigenkapital zu beschaffen oder Forward-Verkäufe zu tätigen, wobei die Nutzung der verbleibenden Kapazität jedoch eine Verwässerung für die aktuellen Aktionäre bedeuten könnte.
- Expanded syndicate with RBC, BTIG and Nomura increases distribution reach and forward-sale optionality.
- $376.4 million remaining ATM capacity provides significant financing flexibility without immediate debt issuance.
- Potential dilution if the large unused ATM capacity is tapped aggressively.
- Termination of BMO, Bank of Montreal and Wedbush reduces counterparty diversity and may hint at weaker relationships.
Insights
TL;DR Neutral: ATM syndicate reshuffled; financing flexibility retained, dilution risk unchanged.
The amendment refreshes distribution capacity by bringing in RBC and BTIG—firms with broad institutional reach and proven forward-sale execution. Removing BMO/Bank of Montreal and Wedbush has little operational impact because $376.4 million (94%) of authority is still unused. No change to size, pricing mechanics or covenants, so the transaction neither strengthens nor weakens balance-sheet metrics today. Investors should monitor future ATM activity, as sizeable issuance could weigh on per-share FFO.
TL;DR Administrative realignment; modest strategic benefit, limited immediate earnings effect.
For a healthcare-focused REIT like LTC, diversified capital channels are essential. Adding RBC and Nomura expands counterparties able to structure forward equity, which can time share settlement to match acquisitions. However, only $23.6 million has been sold to date, hinting at limited near-term external growth needs. Terminating former agents may simply reflect low activity. The filing is not a sign of distress, but investors should weigh potential dilution against acquisition pipeline returns.
