SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

During the first quarter 2013, the Company issued 2.0 million Common Shares under its at-the-market ("ATM") program generating gross proceeds of $53.7 million and net proceeds of $52.9 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, the Company completed this ATM program with an aggregate offering amount of $125.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. Under this program, the Company issued a total of 4.9 million Common Shares which generated net proceeds of $123.1 million. In addition, the Company established a new ATM equity program with an additional aggregate offering amount of up to $150.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. The net proceeds from these ATM equity programs have been, and will be, used by the Company primarily to fund acquisitions directly in the Core Portfolio and through its capital contributions to the Opportunity Funds.

Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from shareholders' equity and include third party interests in the Company’s Opportunity Funds and other entities.
