Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 5, 2016, Urban Edge Properties (the "Company") and its operating partnership, Urban Edge Properties LP, entered into an equity distribution agreement (a "Distribution Agreement") with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Capital One Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Jefferies LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as sales agents (individually, an "Agent" and collectively as the "Agents"), relating to the Company's common shares offered by the Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 5, 2016 (the "Prospectus Supplement") and the accompanying Prospectus incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to a continuous offering program. In accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreements, the Company may from time to time offer and sell the Company's common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000,000 through the Agents. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common shares and determinations by the Company of appropriate uses of the proceeds from such sales.
Sales of the Company's common shares, if any, offered by the Prospectus Supplement will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed with the Agents. The shares will be issued pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement and the Company's automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-212951) filed on August 5, 2016 with the SEC. This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities 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.
Each Distribution Agreement provides that the related Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation not to exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price per share for any shares sold under such Distribution Agreement. The form of Distribution Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report. The description of the Distribution Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Distribution Agreement filed herewith as an exhibit to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
