Common And Preferred Shares | Common and Preferred Shares Common Shares The Board of Trustees declared cash dividends totaling $4.32 and $4.08 per common share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of the total distributions calculated for tax purposes, the amounts characterized as ordinary income, return of capital and long-term capital gain for cash distributions paid per common share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:
| Cash Distributions Per Share
| 2018 |  | 2017
Taxable ordinary income (1) | $ | 4.1253 |  |  | $ | 3.5434 |
Return of capital | — |  |  | 0.2762 |
Long-term capital gain (2) | 0.1747 |  |  | 0.2404 |
Totals | $ | 4.3000 |  |  | $ | 4.0600 |
(1) Of the taxable ordinary income, $4.1253 qualified as 199A distributions for the year ended December 31, 2018 and none qualified as 199A distributions for the year ended December 31, 2017. (2) Of the long-term capital gain, $0.0102 and $0.0972 were unrecaptured section 1250 gains for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,382,730 common shares under the direct share purchase component of its Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (DSPP) for net proceeds of $98.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 8,851,264 common shares in connection with its transaction with CNL Lifestyle and OZRE. See Note 3 for further information. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 490,310 common shares under its DSPP for net proceeds of $35.6 million. Series C Convertible Preferred Shares The Company has outstanding 5.4 million 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (Series C preferred shares). The Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series C preferred shares from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.4375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 5.75% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series C preferred shares are payable quarterly in arrears. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Series C preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. The Series C preferred shares have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. As of December 31, 2018, the Series C preferred shares are convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3954 common shares per Series C preferred share, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $63.23 per common share. This conversion ratio may increase over time upon certain specified triggering events including if the Company’s common dividends per share exceeds a quarterly threshold of $0.6875. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, the Company will under certain circumstances increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate upon the Series C preferred shares becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring or surviving company. The Company may, at its option, cause the Series C preferred shares to be automatically converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals or exceeds 135% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series C preferred shares. Owners of the Series C preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to the owners in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares. The Board of Trustees declared cash dividends totaling $1.4375 per Series C preferred share for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were non-cash distributions associated with conversion adjustments of $0.6205 and $0.4918 per Series C preferred share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The conversion adjustment provision entitles the shareholders of the Series C preferred shares, upon certain quarterly common share dividend thresholds being met, to receive additional common shares of the Company upon a conversion of the preferred shares into common shares. The increase in common shares to be received upon a conversion is a deemed distribution for federal income tax purposes. For tax purposes, the amounts characterized as ordinary income, return of capital and long-term capital gain for cash distributions paid and non-cash deemed distributions per Series C preferred share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

The Company may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals or exceeds 150% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series E preferred shares.
