At ICW Plaza, we lease space to Insurance Company of the West, a California corporation ("ICW"), which is an insurance company majority owned and controlled by Ernest Rady, our Executive Chairman of the Board. Rental revenue recognized on the leases of $1.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is included in rental income. Additionally, on July 1, 2014, we entered into a workers' compensation insurance policy with ICW. The policy premium is approximately $0.4 million for the period July 1, 2014 through July 1, 2015. We renewed this policy with ICW on July 1, 2015 and the premium is approximately $0.2 million for the period July 1, 2015 through July 1, 2016.

On March 9, 2015, we entered into a common stock Purchase Agreement with Explorer Insurance Company ("EIC"), an entity owned and controlled by Ernest Rady. The Purchase Agreement provided for the sale by us to EIC, in a private placement, of 200,000 shares of common stock at a price of $40.54 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $8.1 million. The price per share paid by EIC was equal to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Purchase Agreement.

As of September 30, 2015, Mr. Rady and his affiliates owned approximately 10.0% of our outstanding common stock and 23.5% of our outstanding common units, which together represent an approximate 33.4% beneficial interest in our company on a fully diluted basis.

The Waikiki Beach Walk entities have a 47.7% investment in WBW CHP LLC, an entity that was formed to, among other things, construct a chilled water plant to provide air conditioning to the property and other adjacent facilities. The operating expenses of WBW CHP LLC are recovered through reimbursements from its members, and reimbursements to WBW CHP LLC of $0.7 million and $0.9 million were made for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in rental expenses on the statements of comprehensive income.
