Under this program the Company has repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares, none of which were repurchased after December 2001. As of December 31, 2017, management may repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares under this program. During 2018, the Company revised its share repurchase program (Note 17). Dividends and Distributions On November 8, 2017, the Board of Trustees declared an increase of $0.01 to the $0.27 per Common Share regular quarterly cash dividend, which was paid on January 13, 2018 to holders of record as of December 29, 2017.

In addition, on November 8, 2016, the Board of Trustees declared a special cash dividend of $0.15 per Common Share with the same record and payment date as the regular quarterly dividend.

__________
(a) | Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are comprised of (i) the limited partners’ 3,328,873 and 3,308,875 Common OP Units at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at December 31, 2017 and 2016; (iii) 136,593 and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and (iv) 2,274,147 and 1,997,099 LTIP units as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as discussed in Share Incentive Plan (Note 13). Distributions declared for Preferred OP Units are reflected in net income in the table above.
(b) | Noncontrolling interests in partially-owned affiliates comprise third-party interests in Funds II, III, IV and V, and Mervyns I and II, and six other subsidiaries.
(c) | During the first quarter of 2016, the Company acquired an additional 8.3% interest in Fund II from a limited partner for $18.4 million, giving the Company an aggregate 28.33% interest. Amount in the table above represents the book value of this transaction.
(d) | Adjustment reflects the difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the book value of the Common Shares, Common OP Units, Preferred OP Units, and LTIP Units involving changes in ownership (the “Rebalancing”).
Preferred OP Units There were no issuances of Preferred OP Units and 5,000 Series C Preferred OP Units were exchanged for common shares of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017. In 1999 the Operating Partnership issued 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units in connection with the acquisition of a property, which have a stated value of $1,000 per unit, and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit was converted into a Common OP Unit. Through December 31, 2016, 1,392 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 185,600 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date. During the first quarter of 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 442,478 Common OP Units and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units to a third party to acquire Gotham Plaza (Note 4). The Series C Preferred OP Units have a value of $100.00 per unit and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of $0.9375 per unit and are convertible into Common OP Units at a rate based on the share price at the time of conversion. If the share price is below $28.80 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 3.4722 Common OP Units. If the share price is between $28.80 and $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into a number of Common OP Units equal to $100.00 divided by the closing share price. If the share price is above $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 2.8409 Common OP Units. The Series C Preferred OP Units have a mandatory conversion date of December 31, 2025, at which time all units that have not been converted will automatically be converted into Common OP Units based on the same calculations.
