AEP Enters Forward Share Sales Tied to 22.5 Million Common Shares at $99.756
American Electric Power entered forward sale agreements with Citibank and Barclays covering 22,549,020 common shares sold to underwriters in a public offering, with a initial forward sale price of $99.756 per share. The company will receive proceeds only if it elects physical settlement, which it expects to occur on or before December 31, 2026, and the agreements could require share issuance that dilutes earnings per share.
