Atm Equity Distribution Agreement

Overview

CaseMark's ATM Equity Distribution Agreement skill generates comprehensive, market-standard agreements for public issuers establishing or renewing at-the-market equity offering programs under Rule 415(a)(4). The AI produces a complete agreement covering agency appointment, sale mechanics, compensation, representations and warranties, indemnification, and all standard provisions required for continuous shelf offerings.

Drafting ATM Equity Distribution Agreements is a time-intensive process requiring careful attention to SEC regulations, exchange listing rules, and market-standard terms across dozens of interconnected provisions. Capital markets attorneys spend hours assembling these complex documents from precedent, risking inconsistencies and omissions that can delay program launches and increase compliance risk.

CaseMark's AI analyzes your issuer details, registration statement parameters, and agent terms to generate a complete, market-standard ATM Equity Distribution Agreement in minutes. The output covers every critical section from agency appointment through termination, with built-in compliance for Rule 415(a)(4), Regulation M, and applicable exchange listing rules, giving your team a polished first draft ready for review and negotiation.

Questions

Does the generated agreement comply with Rule 415(a)(4) and Regulation M?

Yes. CaseMark's AI drafts the agreement with Rule 415(a)(4) characterization, Regulation M compliance provisions, and applicable exchange listing rule requirements built into every relevant section. You should still have securities counsel review the final document.

Can I customize the commission rate and expense allocation?

Absolutely. CaseMark allows you to specify the commission percentage, expense allocation terms, and wire instructions. The AI defaults to market-standard ranges (2–3%) but adapts to your specific negotiated terms.

Does the agreement support multiple agents or co-manager arrangements?

Yes. CaseMark can draft agreements with single or multiple agents, including non-exclusive agency appointments and co-manager arrangements. Simply provide the details for each agent in your inputs.

How does CaseMark handle the indemnification and contribution provisions?

CaseMark generates mutual indemnification clauses with market-standard defense procedures and contribution provisions, including commission-based caps. These follow prevailing capital markets practice and can be customized to your negotiated terms.

Can I use this for renewing an existing ATM program?

Yes. CaseMark is designed for both new ATM program establishment and renewals. You can input details about prior ATM agreements and the AI will generate an updated agreement reflecting your current shelf registration and program parameters.

What if my offering involves NYSE vs. Nasdaq listing requirements?

CaseMark incorporates the applicable exchange listing rules based on your specified principal listing market. The AI adjusts provisions for the 20% issuance cap, shareholder approval requirements, and other exchange-specific considerations accordingly.
