Abstract

This study examines the differences in debt maturity choice between Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) with At-the-Market (ATM) offerings and those without, as well as the subsequent changes in REIT debt maturity following the adoption of ATM programs. We find that ATM REITs consistently maintain higher levels of long-term debt than non-ATM REITs, even after implementing ATM offerings. It suggests that the capital raised through ATM offerings is not primarily utilized to reduce long-term debt. Additionally, the study highlights that small REITs experience a significant increase in short-term debt when actively employing ATM offerings. This outcome indicates that ATM programs offer smaller REITs the necessary financial flexibility to raise funds and address short-term debt obligations.
