Equity
As of December 31, 2013, SUSS owned 79,308 common units and 10,939,436 subordinated units, which together constitute a 50.2% ownership interest in us. In September 2013, in conjunction with the GFI Contribution and related transfer, we issued 64,872 common units to SUSS. As of December 31, 2013, the public owned 10,936,352 units.
Allocations of Net Income
Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to SUSS.
The calculation of net income allocated to the partners is as follows (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

Incentive Distribution Rights
The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of available cash from operating surplus between the unitholders and SUSS (in its capacity as the holder of our incentive distribution rights or "IDRs") based on the specified target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “marginal percentage interest in distributions” are the percentage interests of SUSS and the unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “total quarterly distribution per unit target amount”. The percentage interests shown for our unitholders and SUSS for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth below for SUSS assume that there are no arrearages on common units and that SUSS continues to own all of the IDRs.
