ONE Gas sets up up to $225 million equity distribution program with forward sales
ONE Gas, Inc. entered into an equity distribution agreement allowing it to sell up to $225 million of common stock through a group of banks, including forward sale agreements, under an S-3 shelf registration filed February 23, 2026. The company has no obligation to sell any shares and pays a 2% commission on shares sold, so the deal would dilute existing holders only if and when shares are issued.
