Curbline Properties Corp. (NYSE:CURB) (the "Company" or "Curbline") announced today the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, all of which are being offered in connection with the forward sale agreements described below. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the offering, before deducting estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $204 million. The offering is expected to close on February 12, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Morgan Stanley and BofA Securities are acting as the underwriters for the offering.
In connection with the offering, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with Morgan Stanley and BofA Securities (or affiliates thereof) (the "forward purchasers"), with respect to 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The underwriters have been granted a 30-day option, exercisable in whole or in part from time to time, to purchase up to an additional 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. If the option to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock is exercised, the Company expects to enter into one or more additional forward sale agreements with the forward purchasers in respect of the number of shares of the Company's common stock that are subject to exercise of the option to purchase additional shares.
In connection with the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements, the forward purchasers (or their affiliates) are expected to borrow from third parties and sell to the underwriters an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (or an aggregate of 9,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). However, a forward purchaser (or its affiliate) is not required to borrow and sell such shares if, after using commercially reasonable efforts, such forward purchaser (or its affiliate) is unable to borrow such shares, or if borrowing costs exceed a specified threshold or if certain specified conditions have not been satisfied. If a forward purchaser (or its affiliate) does not deliver and sell all of the shares of the Company's common stock to be sold by it to the underwriters, the Company will issue and sell to the underwriters a number of shares of its common stock equal to the number of shares that such forward purchaser (or its affiliate) did not deliver and sell, and the number of shares underlying the relevant forward sale agreement or such additional forward sale agreement will be decreased by the number of shares that the Company issues and sells.
Pursuant to the terms of the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements, and subject to its right to elect cash or net share settlement, the Company intends to issue and sell, upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements, an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of common stock (or an aggregate of up to 9,200,000 shares of common stock if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) to the forward purchasers. The Company expects to physically settle the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements within approximately 18 months from the date of the prospectus supplement relating to the offering.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward purchasers (or affiliates thereof). The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, received upon the settlement of the forward sale agreement (and from the sale of any shares of common stock sold by the Company to the underwriters in connection with this offering) for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, funding the acquisition of properties, working capital and capital expenditures, repaying outstanding indebtedness, or a combination of the foregoing.
All of the shares of common stock are being offered pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). A final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering will be filed with the SEC. When available, a copy of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained from Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Attention: Prospectus Department, 180 Varick Street, 2nd floor New York, New York 10014 or BofA Securities, Inc., NC1-022-02-25 201 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28255-0001 Attn: Prospectus Department, email: dg.prospectus_requests@bofa.com; or by visiting the EDGAR database on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale is not permitted. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC and is effective.
