On September 15, 2014, STAG Industrial, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement dated September 15, 2014 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to its prospectus dated May 8, 2013, which was included in its automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-188465) (the “Registration Statement”). The Prospectus Supplement relates to the resale by selling stockholders of up to 555,758 shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued from time to time if, and to the extent that, such selling stockholders, which hold an equal number of common units of limited partnership (“common units”) in STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, tender such common units for redemption, and the Company elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exchange some or all of the common units tendered for redemption for common stock.

 

The Company is filing the opinion of its counsel, Hunton & Williams LLP, as Exhibit 5.1 hereto, regarding the legality of the shares of common stock covered by the Prospectus Supplement.  Exhibit 5.1 is incorporated herein by reference and into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement.

 

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.
