In early January 2013, the Company issued 198,177 shares of Common Stock under the equity distribution agreements at an average gross price of $33.97 per share and received net proceeds, after sales commissions and expenses, of $6.6 million.

On January 9, 2013, we acquired two office buildings encompassing 195,000 square feet in Greensboro, NC for a total purchase price of $30.9 million. We expect to expense $0.2 million of costs related to this acquisition. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, our initial accounting for this transaction is incomplete and, as such, we are unable to provide purchase price allocation disclosures. The operating results of this acquisition will be included in our 2013 consolidated financial results from the date of acquisition.
