Frequently Asked Questions
What is an 'at-the-market offering' (ATM) program?
An at-the-market offering is a way for a public company to sell shares of its stock directly into the existing stock market, typically over a period of time, at prevailing market prices. This allows companies to raise capital flexibly without the need for traditional underwritten offerings.
Why is Carvana refreshing its ATM program?
Carvana is refreshing its ATM program to ensure it has the flexibility to issue and sell shares of its Class A Common Stock as needed. This could be for general corporate purposes, to fund operations, strategic initiatives, or to manage its balance sheet.
What is the significance of the Second Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement?
This agreement updates and extends the terms of Carvana's previous ATM distribution agreements with its financial partners. It signifies a continued commitment to utilizing this capital-raising tool and ensures the company has up-to-date arrangements with its chosen intermediaries for future share sales.
How does this filing impact existing shareholders?
The primary impact on existing shareholders is potential dilution, as new shares may be issued and sold. However, the ATM program allows Carvana to raise capital which could be used to fund growth or improve financial stability, potentially benefiting long-term shareholder value. Investors should watch the volume of shares sold and the prices at which they are sold.
