Common Units of the Operating Partnership

The Company owned a 97.8%, 97.6% and 97.6% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012, respectively. The remaining 2.2%, 2.4% and 2.4% common limited partnership interest as of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively, was owned by non-affiliate investors and certain of our executive officers and directors in the form of noncontrolling common units. There were 1,821,503, 1,826,503 and 1,826,503 common units outstanding held by these investors, executive officers and directors as of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

The noncontrolling common units may be redeemed by unitholders for cash. We, at our option, may satisfy the cash redemption obligation with shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. Whether satisfied in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, the value for each noncontrolling common unit upon redemption is the amount equal to the average of the closing quoted price per share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, as reported on the NYSE for the ten trading days immediately preceding the applicable redemption date. The aggregate value upon redemption of the then-outstanding noncontrolling common units was $92.3 million and $85.4 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. This redemption value does not necessarily represent the amount that would be distributed with respect to each noncontrolling common unit in the event of our termination or liquidation. In the event of our termination or liquidation, it is expected in most cases that each common unit would be entitled to a liquidating distribution equal to the liquidating distribution payable in respect of each share of the Company’s common stock.
