In May 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an ag gregate offering price of up to $50.0 million . We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities offered by this program for the repayment of indebtedness and/or for general corporate and working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2021, no shares were issued and $50.0 million of common stock remained available under the at-the-market equity financing program.
On October 6, 2020, we completed a follow-on equity offering wherein we sold an aggregate of 8,475,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $20.50, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $165 million, after deducting expenses relating to the follow-on equity offering, including the underwriters’ discounts and commissions. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1,271,250 shares of our common stock, which the underwriters exercised in full. Inclusive of this exercised option, net proceeds to us were approximately $190 million, after deducting expenses relating to the follow-on equity offering, including the underwriters’ discounts and commissions. We used the proceeds from the follow-on equity offering to repay the remaining $109 million outstanding balance of Term Loan A-1 at par on October 8, 2020, to repay $51.7 million of our Term Loan A-2 at par on October 15, 2020, and to repay $30.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
