STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we issued and sold 18,566,822 shares of common stock under our “at-the-market” (“ATM”) equity offering program and public offerings. Aggregate net proceeds for these activities were $1.3 billion, after sales agent commissions. We used the proceeds to fund a portion of the Wexford Acquisition, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. See NOTE 4. ''ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY'' for additional information.

Subsequent to September 30, 2016, we issued and sold 297,019 shares of common stock under our ATM equity offering program for aggregate net proceeds of $21.2 million, after sales agent commissions of $0.3 million. As of September 30, 2016, approximately $252.1 million of our common stock remained available for sale under our ATM equity offering program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, third party investors redeemed 65,581 OP Units and 311,208 Class C Units for 370,558 shares of Ventas common stock, valued at $23.0 million.
