On April 24, 2025, AGNC Investment Corp. (the “Company”) implemented a new “at the market” common stock issuance program by entering into separate sales agreements (each, a “Sales Agreement” and collectively, the “Sales Agreements”) with each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BTIG, LLC, Citadel Securities Institutional LLC, Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Moelis & Company LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Virtu Americas LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreements, the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,500,000,000 (the “Shares”), from time to time to or through any of the Agents, acting as agent and/or principal.
Sales, if any, of Shares under the Sales Agreements may be made in ordinary brokers’ transactions, to or through a market maker, on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other market venue where the securities may be traded, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions (including block transactions), or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The Agents may also sell Shares by any other method permitted by law. Each Agent will make all sales on a best efforts basis using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between each Agent and the Company. The compensation payable to each Agent for sales of Shares pursuant to its Sales Agreement will be up to 1.0% of the gross sales price for any Shares sold through it as agent under the applicable Sales Agreement.
Shares sold under the Sales Agreements, if any, will be issued pursuant to the Company's automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-279249), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus, dated May 9, 2024, and the prospectus supplement, dated April 24, 2025, as the same may be amended or supplemented.
The offering of Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreements will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all the Shares or (2) the termination of the Sales Agreements by the Agents or the Company. The form of the Sales Agreements is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The description of the Sales Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Sales Agreements filed herewith as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
