8.3 million with remaining availability of funds for borrowing. These loans are for the construction of a one million gallon elevated storage tank and construction, relocation, improvement, and interconnection of transmission mains. Tidewater has drawn a total of $7.2 million through September 30, 2025 and expects that the requisitions will continue through the fourth quarter of 2025.

In order to fully fund the ongoing investment program in our utility plant infrastructure and maintain a balanced capital structure consistent with regulators’ expectations for a regulated water utility, Middlesex may offer for sale additional shares of its common stock. The amount, timing and method of sale of common stock is dependent on the timing of construction expenditures, the level of additional debt financing and financial market conditions. 

As approved by the NJBPU, the Company is authorized to issue and sell up to 1.0 million shares of its common stock in one or more transactions through December 31, 2025.  In September 2025, the NJBPU approved Middlesex's petition to issue and sell up to 2.5 million shares of its common stock during the period January 2026 through December 2028, in one or more offerings through a traditional underwritten public offering and/or an ATM offering.

On May 12, 2025, Middlesex entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (Equity Sales Agreement) with BofA Securities, Inc., Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, pursuant to which Middlesex may offer and sell shares of its common stock, no par value per share, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $110.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from these sales, after deducting commissions and offering expenses, to fund our capital expenditures, to purchase and maintain plant equipment, as well as for other general corporate purposes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Middlesex issued and sold a total of 317 thousand and 381 thousand shares of common stock, respectively, at a weighted average price of $53.47 and $54.10 per share, respectively, and received $16.7 million and $20.3 million in net proceeds, respectively, under the Equity Sales Agreement.  As of September 30, 2025, the Company has $89.4 million of aggregate gross sales remaining to issue and sell under the Equity
