Portland General Electric Company (NYSE:POR), a utility company with a market capitalization of $4.54 billion and currently trading at $41.40, filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday to replace a previous registration statement filed in August 2022. The prior registration was terminated upon the effectiveness of the new statement.
In connection with the new registration, the company filed a prospectus supplement covering the offering of 2,452,692 shares of its common stock under its Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan. This continues an offering of 2,500,000 shares that had been covered by the previous registration. According to InvestingPro data, Portland General Electric has maintained dividend payments for 20 consecutive years and currently offers a substantial 5.07% dividend yield, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors.
Portland General Electric also filed a prospectus supplement and entered into an amendment to its equity distribution agreement, originally dated July 26, 2024, with Barclays (LON:BARC) Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) Securities, LLC, as sales agents and forward sellers. The agreement also includes Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) Bank, National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or their affiliates, as forward purchasers.
Under the amended agreement, the company may issue and sell shares of its common stock from time to time as part of its at-the-market offering program. The shares to be sold will be issued pursuant to a prospectus dated Friday and a prospectus supplement filed the same day, in connection with one or more offerings from the new registration statement.
