(1) There were 304,570, 297,891, and 246,581 restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. In addition, there were 60,000 performance share units outstanding at December 31, 2020. Based on the current status of the market and performance conditions, the 60,000 unvested performance share units would ultimately result in the issuance of 90,000 shares of Class A common stock if all other vesting conditions were met. Restricted stock units and performance share units are not reflected in the table because they are not considered outstanding or issued stock.
Each Class A, Class B, Class D and Class E common unit of Holdings (together with the corresponding share of Class B or Class C common stock) is exchangeable for one share of Class A common stock. The corresponding shares of Class B and Class C common stock are immediately canceled upon any such exchange. Upon termination of employment with Artisan, an employee-partner’s Class B common units are exchanged for Class E common units and the corresponding shares of Class B common stock are canceled. APAM issues the former employee-partner a number of shares of Class C common stock equal to the former employee-partner’s number of Class E common units. Class E common units are exchangeable for Class A common stock subject to the same restrictions and limitations on exchange applicable to the other common units of Holdings. Artisan Partners Holdings - Partners’ Equity Holdings makes distributions of its net income to the holders of its partnership units for income taxes as required under the terms of the partnership agreement and also makes additional distributions under the terms of the partnership agreement. The distributions are recorded in the financial statements on the declaration date, or on the payment date in lieu of a declaration date. Holdings’ partnership distributions for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Holdings Partnership Distributions to Limited Partners | $ | 85,805 |  |  | $ | 94,842 |  |  | $ | 103,434 |
Holdings Partnership Distributions to APAM | 270,044 |  |  | 226,245 |  |  | 217,396 |
Total Holdings Partnership Distributions | $ | 355,849 |  |  | $ | 321,087 |  |  | $ | 320,830 |
The distributions are recorded as a reduction to consolidated stockholders’ equity, with the exception of distributions made to APAM, which are eliminated upon consolidation.
