Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ Equity

Sales Agreement. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as its sales agents. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company could have, from time to time, issued and sold shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the sales agents party thereto as either agents or principals. The Sales Agreement expired by its terms on May 1, 2021 and as of that date, 842,412 shares of our Class A common stock were sold under the Sales Agreement.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the "2021 Sales Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. as our sales agents (each a "Sales Agent", and collectively, the "Sales Agents"), which replaced the prior Sales Agreement with substantially similar terms. Under the terms of the 2021 Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals.

Sales of the Class A common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market offerings" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A common stock, or sales made to or directly through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A Common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the 2021 Sales Agreement.

As of June 30, 2022, no shares of our Class A common stock have been sold under the 2021 Sales Agreement and accordingly $400,000 remained available to be sold under the 2021 Sales Agreement as of June 30, 2022.

Shelf Registration. On June 21, 2021, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement that allows Lamar Advertising to offer and sell an indeterminate amount of additional shares of its Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not issue any shares under this shelf registration.

Stock Repurchase Program. On March 16, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000 of the Company’s Class A common stock. On September 20, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of the repurchase program through March 31, 2023. There were no repurchases under the program as of June 30, 2022.
