Tanger entered a new at-the-market equity program with a maximum gross sales price of $400 million, replacing its February 24, 2025 sales agreement, which it terminated without having issued any shares. The company may sell shares from time to time at its discretion and has no obligation to sell, so the program's dilutive effect depends on future sales that the filing does not quantify.
Maximum aggregate gross sales price under the 2026 Sales Agreement is $400 million.
Sales agents include BofA Securities, Wells Fargo Securities, BTIG, Mizuho, Nomura, Regions, Scotia Capital, TD Securities, and Truist Securities, among others.

Graphic Packaging amended its credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, raising the maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. The company said it requested the change because its decision to aggressively reduce inventory depresses EBITDA and increases the ratio.

Maximum leverage ratio rises from 4.25 to 1.00 to 5.00 to 1.00 for quarters ending March 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026, and to 4.75 to 1.00 for quarters ending March 31, 2027 through June 30, 2027
Share repurchases are limited to $65 million on an annual basis during the Specified Period, which ends when quarterly financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2027 are delivered
An additional pricing tier applies when the leverage ratio is at or above 4.75 to 1.00, and acquisitions and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries face added restrictions
