EQUITY
Stockholders’ Equity
As of June 30, 2017, there were 18,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 11,850,624 shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2016, there were 18,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 10,024,875 shares issued and outstanding.
Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership
We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 89.1% and 87.4%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.
On or after 12 months after becoming a holder of OP Units, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The cash redemption per OP Unit would be based on the market price of our common stock at the time of redemption. A limited partner will not be entitled to exercise redemption rights if the delivery of common stock to the redeeming limited partner would breach restrictions on the ownership of common stock imposed under our charter and other limitations thereof.
Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units for shares of its common stock. When a non-Company unitholder redeems an OP Unit, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.
The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by the Company being utilized to make distributions to the Company’s common stockholders.
As of both June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there were 1,449,258 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, 745,879 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners had been held for the required period of 12 months and thus were eligible to be redeemed for either cash or shares of our common stock.
Distributions
The distributions to common stockholders declared by our Board of Directors and paid by us during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are reflected in the table below.
The same amounts were paid as distributions on each OP Unit held by non-controlling limited partners of the Operating Partnership as of the above record dates.
We will provide information related to the federal income tax characterization of our 2017 distributions in an IRS Form 1099-DIV, which will be mailed to our stockholders in January 2018.
Registration Statement
We filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194539) with the SEC on March 13, 2014 (the "2014 Registration Statement"), which the SEC declared effective on April 2, 2014. The 2014 Registration Statement, which was scheduled to expire on April 1, 2017, permitted us to issue up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, senior common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities and depository shares, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more such securities. We issued a total of 4,013,763 shares of common stock and 1,150,000 shares of preferred stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $73.1 million under the 2014 Registration Statement.
On March 30, 2017, we filed a new universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217042) with the SEC (the "2017 Registration Statement") to replace the expiring 2014 Registration Statement. The 2017 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 12, 2017, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. As of June 30, 2017, we have not issued any securities under the 2017 Registration Statement.
In conjunction with the replacement of the 2014 Registration Statement, we wrote off approximately $46,000 of unallocated costs associated with the initial filing of the 2014 Registration Statement. These costs were written off to professional fees and stockholder-related expenses, each of which are included in General and administrative expenses on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
2017 Equity Issuance
On March 8, 2017, we completed a public offering of 1,680,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.35 per share. This issuance settled on March 13, 2017, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $19.1 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $18.0 million. On March 17, 2017, the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option in connection with this offering, and, as a result, we issued an additional 145,749 shares. This issuance settled on March 22, 2017, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $1.6 million. We used the proceeds received from this offering to repay existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.
At-the-Market Program
On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as "at-the-market agreements" or our "Sales Agreements") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”). No shares were issued or sold under the ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Through June 30, 2017, we have issued and sold a total of 64,561 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $10.23 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $660,000 and net proceeds of approximately $650,000.
On April 13, 2017, we amended each of the Sales Agreements to reference the new 2017 Registration Statement. All other material terms of the Sales Agreements remained unchanged.
