Equity

Shareholders' Equity:

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 563,639 and 515,548 common shares, respectively, under its direct share purchase plan, raising net proceeds of approximately $4,291 and $4,188, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 10,000,000 common shares in a public offering generating net proceeds of $90,573. The proceeds were used for general working capital; primarily to fund investments and retire indebtedness.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 represented $(3,621) and $1,938, respectively, of unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, net.

Noncontrolling Interests:

In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions in prior years, sellers were issued OP units as a form of consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable for common shares at certain times, at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities as defined by GAAP. Each OP unit is currently redeemable for approximately 1.13 common shares, subject to future adjustments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 66,652 and 193,814 common shares, respectively, were issued by the Company, in connection with OP unit redemptions, for an aggregate value of $353 and $1,077, respectively.

As of June 30, 2012, there were approximately 3,967,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with their respective partnership agreements. To the extent that the Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the applicable partnership agreement, the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP units have a liquidation preference.
