On March 10, 2020, the Company and Armada
Hoffler, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”),
with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”), and Regions Securities
LLC (“Regions”), each in its capacity as a sales agent, forward seller (only in the case of Jefferies) and/or principal
(collectively, the “Agents”), and Jefferies (or its affiliate), in its capacity as a forward purchaser (in such capacity,
the “Forward Purchaser”), in connection with the commencement of a new “at-the-market” equity offering
program (the “ATM Program”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time
to time, issue and sell through or to the Agents, shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”)
and shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000,000 (collectively, the “Shares”).
The shares under the forward sale agreements, if any, will include only shares of Common Stock and will not include any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock.
Upon entering into the Sales Agreement,
the Company and the Operating Partnership simultaneously terminated the ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreements, each
dated February 26, 2018, as amended on August 5, 2019, by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and each of BofA Securities,
Inc., Baird and Jefferies, which the Company entered into in connection with its prior “at-the-market” equity offering
program.
Sales through the Agents
as Sales Agents or to the Agents as Principal
Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Sales
Agreement through the Agents acting as sales agents, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings”
as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions
on the New York Stock Exchange, or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or negotiated transactions, or as
otherwise agreed with the applicable Agent. The Company or any of the Agents may at any time terminate the Sales Agreement pursuant
to its terms, and the Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement.
The actual sale of Shares under the ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to
time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading prices of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, capital
needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company.
Each Agent will be entitled to compensation
that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the gross sales price per share for any Shares sold through it acting as sales
agent. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company also may sell Shares to each of the Agents, as principal, pursuant to
a separate agreement, for its own respective account, at a price per share to be agreed upon at the time of sale.
Sales Through the Agent as Forward
Seller
Under the Sales Agreement, in addition
to the issuance and sale of Shares by the Company through the Agents acting as sales agents or to the Agents as principal,
the Company also may enter into separate forward sale agreements (each, a “Confirmation” and, collectively, the
“Confirmations”) with the Forward Purchaser, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. In connection
with any particular Confirmation, the Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) will attempt to borrow from third parties and,
through the related Agent, acting as forward seller, sell a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock underlying such Confirmation to hedge the Forward Purchaser’s exposure under such Confirmation. The Shares
sold through the applicable Agent in connection with the Confirmations, if any, will include only shares of Common Stock and
will not include any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company will pay such Agent a commission, in the form of a
reduction to the initial forward price under the related Confirmation, at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed, but
may be less than, 2.0% of the volume weighted average sales price per share of all borrowed shares sold through such Agent
during the applicable forward selling period for such shares.
The Company will not initially receive any
proceeds from any sale of borrowed shares sold through the applicable Agent. The Company currently expects to fully physically
settle each Confirmation with the Forward Purchaser on one or more dates specified by the Company on or prior to the maturity date
of such Confirmation, in which case the Company will expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number
of shares underlying the particular Confirmation multiplied by the applicable forward sale price per share, adjusted in accordance
with the forward price adjustment provisions of such Confirmation. However, subject to certain exceptions, the Company may also
elect, in its discretion, to cash settle or net share settle a particular Confirmation, in which case the Company may not receive
any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and the Company
may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares (in the case of net share settlement) to the Forward Purchaser.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to the
Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236982), which became effective upon filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2020, and a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares that was filed
with the SEC on March 10, 2020. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy the Shares nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
A copy of the Sales Agreement is filed as
Exhibit 1.1 and the form of Confirmation is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The description of the Sales
Agreement and the form of Confirmation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies
of the Sales Agreement and the form of Confirmation filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein
by reference.
