Other Events.
On June 11, 2021, AGNC Investment Corp. (the 'Company') filed a new automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (No. 333-257014) (the 'Registration Statement'). Concurrently with the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company's existing 'at the market' common stock issuance program under its prior automatic shelf registration statement terminated. Also on June 11, 2021, the Company implemented a new 'at the market' program by entering into separate sales agreements (each a 'Sales Agreement' and collectively, the 'Sales Agreements') with each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BTIG, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, JMP Securities LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, and Virtu Americas 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 ('Common Stock') having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,250,000,000 (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, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The Agent 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 Registration Statement, including the prospectus, dated June 11, 2021, and the prospectus supplement, dated June 11, 2021, 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 upon 10 days' notice. The form of the Sales Agreements is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report. 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.
