Redeemable common limited partnership units totaling 1,763,739 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computations because they are not dilutive.
Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends as noted in the table above were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Company’s executives and other employees under the Company's shareholder-approved long-term incentive plan.
Common and Preferred Shares
On May 29, 2014, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.15 per common share, totaling $23.6 million, which was paid on July 21, 2014 to shareholders of record as of July 7, 2014. In addition, the Parent Company declared distributions on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of June 30, 2014. These shares are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on July 15, 2014 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million.
On May 15, 2014, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust authorizing an increase in the Company’s total number of shares of beneficial interest from 220,000,000 to 420,000,000 shares, with the number of authorized common shares of beneficial interest increased from 200,000,000 to 400,000,000 and the number of authorized preferred shares of beneficial interest remaining unchanged at 20,000,000.
On November 5, 2013, the Parent Company commenced a continuous equity offering program (the “Offering Program”), under which it may sell, in at-the-market offerings, up to an aggregate amount of 16,000,000 common shares until November 5, 2016. The Parent Company may sell common shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Parent Company. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Parent Company, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common shares and determinations by the Parent Company of the appropriate sources of funding. Sales agents engaged by the Parent Company under the Offering Program are entitled to receive, as compensation and in aggregate, up to 2% of the gross sales price per share sold under the Offering Program. From inception of the Offering Program through June 30, 2014, the Parent Company had not sold any shares under the program, leaving 16,000,000 remaining shares available for sale.
Common Share Repurchases
The Parent Company maintains a share repurchase program under which it may repurchase its common shares from time to time in accordance with limits set by the Board of Trustees.
The Parent Company did not repurchase any shares under the share repurchase program during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Parent Company may purchase up to 539,200 shares under the program.
Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and compliance with legal requirements. The share repurchase program does not contain any time limitation and does not obligate the Parent Company to repurchase any shares. The Parent Company may discontinue the program at any time.
