Ellington Financial ( (EFC) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On December 23, 2025, Ellington Financial Inc. and its external manager amended their existing equity distribution agreements tied to the company’s at-the-market common stock offering program and simultaneously entered into new, substantively identical equity distribution agreements with Citadel Securities Institutional LLC and Moelis & Company LLC, adding them as additional sales agents alongside Citizens JMP, B. Riley Securities, BTIG and Armstrong Securities. The amendments increased the maximum aggregate offering capacity under the program, with up to $500 million of common shares remaining available to be sold from time to time via at-the-market transactions on the New York Stock Exchange and other markets through these agents, who may earn up to 2.0% of gross proceeds, a move that enhances Ellington Financial’s flexibility to raise equity capital and deepens its syndicate of distribution partners without obligating the company to issue any specific amount of stock.
