Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:LEU), a company specializing in the mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals with a market capitalization of $1.59 billion, has announced an expansion of its "at the market" (ATM) offering program. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong financial position with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations, as evidenced by a healthy current ratio of 2.12. As of Friday, the company has increased the maximum amount of Class A Common Stock available for sale through the program to $200 million, up from the previous limit of $100 million. This decision comes after the establishment of the ATM Program on February 9, 2024, when the company entered into a Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC, and Roth Capital Partners (WA:CPAP), LLC. The timing of this expansion appears strategic, as InvestingPro data shows the stock has delivered a remarkable 20.48% return over the past week, though current valuations suggest the stock may be trading above its Fair Value.
The ATM Program allows Centrus Energy to sell shares from time to time through sales agents. As of the date of the report, approximately $117.1 million worth of shares remains available for sale under the program. The company is not obligated to sell any shares and will do so at its discretion, using methods that comply with the "at the market offering" as defined by Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933.
The shares will be issued under the company’s shelf registration statement, which became effective on July 10, 2023, and a prospectus supplement dated May 9, 2025. This supplement updates and amends the prior prospectus supplement from February 9, 2024, and has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing also includes an opinion from O’Melveny & Myers LLP, serving as legal counsel for Centrus Energy in connection with the ATM Program. This expansion reflects the company’s strategy to leverage its available securities to potentially raise capital as market conditions permit.
