On March 25, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 11.0 million shares of its common stock, plus an additional 1.65 million shares of its common stock issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares in full, at the public offering price of $17.25 per share.  The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $209.0 million.  The Company used the net proceeds of the common stock offering to redeem in full all of its outstanding 8.00% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and will use remaining net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, to repay amounts outstanding from time to time under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes.

On April 25, 2013, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 8.00% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.  The Company paid $136.3 million to redeem the preferred shares and expects to incur a charge during the second quarter of approximately $6.6 million, which represents the difference between the costs associated with the issuances, including the price at which such shares were paid, and the redemption price.
