At-The-Market Equity Offering Program

In December 2016, we entered into an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), to sell up to an aggregate of $12.0 million of our common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, we issued 120,299 shares and 2,492 shares, respectively, of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 million and $23,000, respectively, at a weighted average price of $9.76 and $9.32 per share, respectively. We did not issue any shares through this program in 2018 or 2019. The sale agreement with our broker expired in accordance with its term on June 30, 2019 and was not extended.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue two shares of preferred stock (one share each of Series A and Series B preferred stock, each of which was automatically redeemed in 2016 and may not be reissued), one share of special stock and 40,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock. The share of special stock was issued and sold to Third Avenue Trust, on behalf of Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund (“Third Avenue”), and enables Third Avenue or its affiliated designee to elect one member of the Board of Directors.
