Common Shares


We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends when authorized by our board of directors.


Follow-On Public Offering. We completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock during the quarter ended March 25, 2011. We sold 12,418,662 shares of our common stock, including the underwriter’s option to purchase 1,418,662 additional shares, at an offering price of $12.07 per share. The net proceeds to us, after deduction of offering costs, were approximately $149.7 million.


Dividends. During the first fiscal quarter, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on April 7, 2011 to stockholders of record as of March 25, 2011. During the second fiscal quarter, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on June 27, 2011 to stockholders of record as of June 17, 2011. During the third fiscal quarter, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on September 20, 2011 to stockholders of record as of September 9, 2011.


Preferred Shares


We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Our board of directors is required to set for each class or series of preferred stock the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption. As of September 9, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.


Operating Partnership Units


Holders of operating partnership units have certain redemption rights, which enable them to cause our operating partnership to redeem their units in exchange for cash per unit equal to the market price of our common stock, at the time of redemption, or, at our option for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or our stockholders. As of September 9, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no operating partnership units held by unaffiliated third parties.
