Treasury Offering

The issuance of an additional class of security already existing in a firm's treasury.

Investopedia Commentary

When a company needs to raise more money, but doesn't want any extra debt, they will often issue extra shares of its currently trading equity. Of course, there is a downside to this, as the offering causes dilution for existing shareholders.
