The shelf registration and ATM program provide the company with flexible access to capital markets. Monitor future prospectus supplements for actual issuance amounts and pricing, which will determine the dilutive impact. The company's strong operating performance (10.2% same-property NOI growth) and maintained FFO guidance suggest this is an opportunistic capital raise rather than a distress-driven one.
