Recent Activity

Common Stock ATM Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold 0.9 million shares of common stock, raising $20.3 million in net proceeds under our At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreements with sales agents Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), BTIG, LLC, and Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (“Fifth Third”). On February 22, 2022, we entered into Amendment No.1 to our existing At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Common Stock Sales Agreement”), with Baird, Goldman Sachs, Stifel, BTIG, and Fifth Third (the “Common Stock Sales Agents”), dated December 3, 2019. The amendment permits shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the Common Stock Sales Agreement under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236143) and future registration statements on Form S-3 (the “Common Stock ATM Program”). As of March 31, 2022, we had remaining capacity to sell up to $47.0 million of common stock pursuant to the Common Stock ATM Program under the 2020 Universal Shelf (as defined below).

Mezzanine Equity

Our 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), and Series G Preferred Stock are classified as mezzanine equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because both are redeemable at the option of the shareholder upon a change of control of greater than 50%. A change in control of our company, outside of our control, is only possible if a tender offer is accepted by over 90% of our shareholders. All other change in control situations would require input from our Board of Directors. In addition, our Series E Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the applicable shareholder in the event a delisting event occurs. We will periodically evaluate the likelihood that a delisting event or change of control of greater than 50% will take place, and if we deem this probable, we would adjust the Series E Preferred Stock, and Series G Preferred Stock presented in mezzanine equity to their redemption value, with the offset to gain (loss) on extinguishment. We currently believe the likelihood of a change of control of greater than 50%, or a delisting event, is remote.

Universal Shelf Registration Statements

On January 11, 2019, we filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-229209, and an amendment thereto on Form S-3/A on January 24, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “2019 Universal Shelf”). The 2019 Universal Shelf allowed us to issue up to $500.0 million of securities and expired on February 13, 2022.

On January 29, 2020, we filed an additional universal registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-236143 (the “2020 Universal Shelf”). The 2020 Universal Shelf was declared effective on February 11, 2020 and was in addition to the 2019 Universal Shelf. The 2020 Universal Shelf allows us to issue up to an additional $800.0 million of securities. Of the $800.0 million of available capacity under our 2020 Universal Shelf, approximately $636.5 million is reserved for the sale of our Series F Preferred Stock, and $63.0 million is reserved for our Common Stock ATM Program. As of March 31, 2022, we had the ability to issue up to $671.8 million of securities under the 2020 Universal Shelf.
Series F Preferred Stock

On February 20, 2020, we filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation Articles Supplementary (i) setting forth the rights, preferences and terms of the Series F Preferred Stock and (ii) reclassifying and designating 26,000,000 shares of our authorized and unissued shares of common stock as shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The reclassification decreased the number of shares classified as common stock from 86,290,000 shares immediately prior to the reclassification to 60,290,000 shares immediately after the reclassification. We sold 62,883 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock, raising $1.4 million in net proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, we had remaining capacity to sell up to $624.3 million of Series F Preferred Stock.

Non-controlling Interest in Operating Partnership

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we owned approximately 99.3% and 99.3%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we redeemed 246,039 OP Units for an equivalent amount of common stock.

The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of our common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by us being utilized to make distributions to our common stockholders.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 256,994 and 256,994 outstanding OP Units held by Non-controlling OP Unitholders, respectively.
