On March 8, 2013, American Campus Communities Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), American Campus Communities Operating Partnership LP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and American Campus Communities Holdings LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, entered into four separate Equity Distribution Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as sales agents and/or principals (collectively, the “Agents”) pursuant to which the Company created an at-the-market equity program under which it may sell its common stock with an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million (the “Shares”) from time to time through the Agents. Under the Agreements, each of the Agents will be entitled to a commission that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2% of the gross offering proceeds of any Shares sold through it.
Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Agreements may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, including on the New York Stock Exchange, at market prices or as otherwise agreed with the Agents. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the Agreements or terminate the Agreements.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated March 8, 2013 to the prospectus included in the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-181102 and 333-181102-01) dated May 2, 2012. This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration of qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
The Agreements are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 to this Report. The description of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements filed herewith as exhibits to this Report.
