STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
As of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company was authorized to issue 490.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to the primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares (245.0 million in Class A Shares and 245.0 million in Class T Shares) and 10.0 million shares of preferred stock. All shares of such stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. On July 14, 2014, VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“VEREIT OP”) acquired 8,000 shares of common stock, at $25.00 per share. Effective December 30, 2015, the Company effected a stock split, whereby every one share of their common stock issued and outstanding was split into two and one-half shares of common stock, resulting in 20,000 Class A Shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On February 1, 2018, VEREIT OP transferred these 20,000 shares to CCI III Management and pursuant to the Company’s charter, CCI III Management is prohibited from selling the 20,000 shares of the common stock that represents the initial investment in the Company for so long as CCO Group remains the Company’s sponsor; provided, however, that CCI III Management may transfer ownership of all or a portion of these 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to other affiliates of the Company’s sponsor.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
Pursuant to the DRIP, the Company allows stockholders to elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at the most recent estimated per share NAV. Distributions on Class A Shares are reinvested in Class A Shares and distributions on Class T Shares are reinvested in Class T Shares.
The Board may terminate or amend the DRIP at the Company’s discretion at any time upon ten days’ prior written notice to the stockholders. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, approximately 76,000, 63,000 and 20,000 shares, respectively, were purchased under the DRIP for $658,000, $570,000, and $180,000, respectively, which were recorded as redeemable common stock on the consolidated balance sheets.
Share Redemption Program
The Company’s share redemption program permits its stockholders to sell their shares back to the Company after they have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below.
The share redemption program provides that the Company will redeem shares of its common stock from requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. The Company will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to the share redemption program as follows: (1) the Company will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited, among other things to the net proceeds the Company receives from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, the Company intends to limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter, and funding for redemptions for each quarter generally will be limited to the net proceeds the Company receives from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the DRIP. 
Except for redemptions due to a stockholder’s death, bankruptcy or other exigent circumstances, the redemption price per share will equal the per share value shown on the stockholder’s most recent customer account statement. The redemption price will be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Company’s common stock if any such event is not already reflected in the per share value shown on the stockholder’s most recent customer account statement. As a result of the Board’s determination of an estimated value of the Company’s shares of common stock, the estimated per share NAV of $7.60 for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares, as of December 31, 2019, will serve as the most recent estimated per share NAV for purposes of the share redemption program, effective March 30, 2020, until such time as the Board determines a new estimated per share NAV. See the discussion of the estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock effective March 30, 2020 in Note 14 — Subsequent Events.
Upon receipt of a request for redemption, the Company may conduct a Uniform Commercial Code search to ensure that no liens are held against the shares. If the Company cannot purchase all shares presented for redemption in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available and/or the limit on the number of shares the Company may redeem during any quarter or year, the Company will give priority to the redemption of deceased stockholders’ shares. The Company next will give priority to requests for full redemption of accounts with a balance of 250 shares or less at the time the Company receives the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, the Company will honor the remaining quarterly redemption requests on a pro rata basis. Following such quarterly redemption period, the unsatisfied portion of the prior redemption request must be resubmitted, prior to the last day of the new quarter. Unfulfilled requests for redemption will not be carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods.
The Company redeems shares no later than the end of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter. Requests for redemption must be received on or prior to the end of the fiscal quarter in order for the Company to repurchase the shares in the month following the end of that fiscal quarter. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the stockholders. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company redeemed approximately 65,000 and 5,300 shares under the share redemption program for $560,000 and $48,000, respectively. The Company did not redeem any shares during the years ended December 31, 2017.
Distributions Payable and Distribution Policy
The Board authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.001369863 per Class A Share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on April 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. The Board authorized a daily distribution on Class T Shares for stockholders of record of such class of shares as of the close of business on each day commencing on April 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019, equal to $0.001369863 per Class T Share, less the per share distribution and stockholder servicing fees that are payable with respect to the Class T Shares (as calculated on a daily basis). In addition, the Board authorized a daily distribution, based on 366 days in the calendar year, of $0.001366120 per Class A Share for stockholders of record of such class of shares as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on March 31, 2020. The Board authorized a daily distribution on Class T Shares to our stockholders of record of such class of shares as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on March 31, 2020, equal to $0.001366120 per Class T Share, less the per share distribution and stockholder servicing fees that are payable with respect to the Class T Shares (as calculated on a daily basis). As of December 31, 2019, the Company had distributions payable of $132,000.
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Board reaffirmed the declaration and payment of distributions for the month of March 2020 at the rate previously declared on November 6, 2019, which distributions will be paid on or around April 1, 2020. Given the impact of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak, the Board has decided to defer making a determination as to the amount and timing of distributions for the second quarter of 2020 until such time that the Company has greater visibility into the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on the Company’s tenants’ ability to continue to pay rent on their leases on a timely basis or at all, the degree to which federal, state or local governmental authorities grant rent relief or other relief or amnesty programs applicable to the Company’s tenants, the Company’s ability to access the capital markets, and on the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy.
Equity Based Compensation
On August 9, 2018, the Board approved the adoption of the Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), under which 400,000 of the Company’s common shares were reserved for issuance and share awards of 381,000 are available for future grant as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has granted awards of approximately 6,000 restricted Class A Shares to each of the independent members of the Board (approximately 19,000 restricted shares in aggregate) under the Plan. As of December 31, 2019, 9,000 of the restricted Class A Shares had vested based on one year of continuous service. The remaining 10,000 shares issued had not vested or been forfeited as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the Company’s share awards is determined using the Company’s NAV per share on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to these restricted Class A Shares is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of $82,000 and $21,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively related to these restricted Class A Shares, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2019, there was $62,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted Class A Shares issued in 2019, which will be recognized ratably over the remaining period of service prior to October 1, 2020.
