NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable noncontrolling interests include OP units and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in the form of Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) unit awards. In connection with the separation, the Company issued 5.7 million OP units, representing a 5.4% interest in the Operating Partnership to VRLP in exchange for interests in VRLP properties contributed by VRLP. LTIP unit awards were granted to certain executives pursuant to our 2015 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Omnibus Share Plan”). As of March 31, 2016 there were 433,040 LTIP units outstanding. The total of the OP units and LTIP units represent a 5.8% weighted-average interest in the Operating Partnership for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Holders of outstanding vested LTIP units may, from and after two years from the date of issuance, redeem their LTIP units for the Company’s common shares on a one-for-one basis, or, for cash, solely at our election. Holders of outstanding OP units may, at a determinable date, redeem their units for the Company’s common shares on a one-for-one basis, or, for cash, solely at our election.
Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interests relate to the 5% interest held by others in our property in Walnut Creek, CA (Mt. Diablo). The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is presented separately in our consolidated and combined statements of income.
