Distributions 
Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.19 per common share and Common Unit for the fourth quarter of 2021. This distribution was paid on January 14, 2022 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of January 7, 2022.
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we declared cash distributions totaling $0.68, $0.4495, and $1.27, respectively, per common share and Common Units.
At-The-Market Offering Program
On February 23, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with each of BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $150.0 million of its common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share under an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Program”). On November 30, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership amended the Equity Distribution Agreement to reflect their filing of a shelf registration statement on November 16, 2021 with the SEC. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not sold any common shares under the ATM Program. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds, if any, to repay borrowings under its Revolving Facility and other indebtedness and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership may also use net proceeds for acquisitions of operating properties and the development or redevelopment of properties, although there are currently no understandings, commitments or agreements to do so.
Share Repurchase Plan
In February 2021, the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $150.0 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). In February 2022, the Company extended its share repurchase program for an additional year. The Share Repurchase Program, as extended, will terminate on February 28, 2023, if not terminated or extended prior to that date. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not repurchased any shares under its Share Repurchase Program. The Company intends to fund any future repurchases under the Share Purchase Program with cash on hand or availability under its Revolving Facility, subject to any applicable restrictions. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors.
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
We maintain a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, which offers investors the option to invest all or a portion of their common share dividends in additional common shares. Participants in this plan are also able to make optional cash investments with certain restrictions.
