6. Stockholders’ Equity

Shares of Common Stock and Noncontrolling Interest:

On May 12, 2011, we filed an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, increasing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance from 100 million to 150 million shares.

On May 31, 2011, we announced an underwritten public offering of 8,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $12.15 per share to the public. Gross offering proceeds upon settlement on June 6, 2011 were $102,060 in the aggregate. Proceeds to us, net of underwriter’s discount of $1,176 and total expenses of $138, were approximately $100,746.

On March 3, 2011, we announced an underwritten public offering of 8,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.40 per share to the public. Gross offering proceeds upon settlement on March 9, 2011 were $101,460 in the aggregate. Proceeds to us, net of underwriter’s discount of $890 and total expenses of $166, were approximately $100,404.

On February 28, 2011, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for up to $100,000 aggregate gross sale proceeds, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the “ATM”). During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we did not issue any shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we issued 115,856 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM for approximately $1,391, net of $28 paid to the sales agent. Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made primarily in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or by privately negotiated transactions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 100,618 limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Units”) were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock, resulting in a reclassification of $885 of Noncontrolling Interest to First Industrial Realty Trust Inc.’s Stockholders’ Equity.

Restricted Stock:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, we awarded 292,339 and 573,198 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to certain employees. The restricted common stock had a fair value of approximately $3,248 and $3,336, respectively, on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The restricted common stock vests over a three year period. Compensation expense will be charged to earnings over the vesting period for the shares expected to vest.

We recognized $1,042 and $1,390 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, and $2,768 and $4,667 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, in compensation expense related to restricted stock/unit awards. At September 30, 2011, we have $6,267 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock/unit awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.89 year.

Dividend/Distributions:

The coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of (i) the 30 year U.S. Treasury rate, (ii) the 10 year U.S. Treasury rate or (iii) 3-month LIBOR. For the third quarter of 2011, the new coupon rate was 6.655%. See Note 10 for additional derivative information related to the Series F Preferred Stock coupon rate reset.
