The forward structure delays actual dilution and cash receipt, but the offering signals management's view that current equity pricing is attractive for raising capital. Monitor for settlement announcements and use of proceeds toward acquisitions. The 5.2% potential dilution is moderate but notable for a REIT; watch for any concurrent debt paydown or asset sale announcements that could offset dilution concerns.

Financial Impact
Up to 16,100,000 shares (14M base + 2.1M option) at $23.90/share implies gross proceeds of up to ~$384.8 million if fully settled. Based on ~308M shares outstanding pre-offering (market cap $6.7B / $23.90), maximum dilution is ~5.2%.
Risk Factors
- Dilution of up to ~5.2% if all shares are settled, pressuring EPS and FFO per share.

- Uncertainty around use of proceeds—acquisition opportunities may not materialize, leading to cash drag.
- Underwriter option exercise could increase dilution further.
