The company's shares, which have traded as high as $19.95 per share over the past year, fell to a new 52-week low of $3.60 on the New York Stock Exchange after the new offering was announced Wednesday morning. Frank Spencer, chief executive of Cogdell Spencer, says the increased offering is intended to raise more capital.

"It's a real vote of confidence" in the company, Spencer told the Charlotte Business Journal. "The infusion of capital allows us to reduce debt on our balance sheet and gives us the ability to implement our business plan of fully integrating services for healthcare real estate."
