(3) | In 2011, we acquired a controlling interest and began consolidating PEPR. For more information on this acquisition see Note 3.
(4) | In the fourth quarter of 2011, we contributed 18 properties aggregating 4.2 million square feet to this consolidated entity for $234.4 million. As this entity is consolidated, we did not record a gain on this transaction. In addition, NAIF II sold eight properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet for $58.5 million to this same consolidated entity (see Note 6 for more detail on the NAIF II transaction). As a result of these transactions, the noncontrolling interest has increased $106.7 million, which represents our partners’ investment in cash.

At December 31, 2011, 2,058,730 units are associated with the common limited partners in the Operating Partnership that are exchangeable into an equal number of shares of the REIT’s common stock. The majority of the outstanding limited partnership units are entitled to quarterly cash distributions equal to the quarterly distributions paid on our common stock.
