Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan |
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan | 21.Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan We have a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or the DRSPP, to provide our common stockholders, as well as new investors, with a convenient and economical method of purchasing our common stock and reinvesting their distributions. The DRSPP also allows our current stockholders to buy additional shares of common stock by reinvesting all or a portion of their distributions. The DRSPP authorizes up to 26,000,000 common shares to be issued. During the first nine months o f 2015, we issued 7,565,432 shares and raised approximately $360.9 million under the DRSPP. During the first nine months o f 2014, we issued 1,290,872 shares and raised approximately $56.6 million under the DRSPP. From the inception of the DRSPP through September 30, 2015, we have issued 12,656,940 shares and raised approximately $579.5 million. In 2013, we revised our DRSPP to pay for a majority of the plan-related fees, which were previously paid by investors, and to institute a waiver approval process, allowing larger investors or institutions, per a formal approval process, to purchase shares at a small discount, if approved by us. During the first nine months o f 2015, we issued 7,413,207 shares and raised $353.7 million under the waiver approval process. During the first nine months 2014, we issued 1,135,897 shares and raised $50.0 million under the waiver approval process. These shares are included in the total activity for the first nine months o f 2015 and 2014 noted in the preceding paragraph.
