Share Classes
Class T shares, Class S shares, Class D shares, Class I shares, Class A shares, Class AA shares, Class AAA and Class E shares vote together as a single class, and each share is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders; provided that with respect to any matter that would only have a material adverse effect on the rights of a particular class of common stock, only the holders of such affected class are entitled to vote.
As of June 30, 2019, there were 229,120 shares of Class T common stock, 283 shares of Class S common stock, 19,499 shares of Class D common stock, 822,666 shares of Class I common stock, 24,925,347 shares of Class A common stock, 48,180,929 of Class AA common stock, 959,152 shares of Class AAA common stock, and 168,473,558 of Class E common stock outstanding.
Common Equity
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion from the sale of shares in the private offering, the public offerings, and the DRP offerings, as discussed in Note 1, Organization. The Company also issued approximately 43,772,611 shares of its common stock upon the consummation of the merger of Signature Office REIT, Inc. in June 2015 and 174,981,547 Class E shares (in exchange for all outstanding shares of EA-1's common stock at the time of the Mergers) in April 2019 upon the consummation of the Mergers. There were 243,610,554 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019, including shares issued pursuant to the DRP, less shares redeemed pursuant to the SRP discussed below.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)
The Company has adopted the DRP, which allows stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of common stock. No sales commissions or dealer manager fees will be paid on shares sold through the DRP, but the DRP shares will be charged the applicable distribution fee payable with respect to all shares of the applicable class. The purchase price per share under the DRP is equal to the NAV per share applicable to the class of shares purchased, calculated as of the distribution date. The Company may amend or terminate the DRP for any reason at any time upon 10 days' prior written notice to stockholders, which may be provided through the Company's filings with the SEC.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had issued approximately $268.1 million and $252.8 million in shares pursuant to the DRP, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, 77,691,333 shares subject to the Company's quarterly cap on aggregate redemptions are classified on the consolidated balance sheet as common stock subject to redemption.
Share Redemption Program
The Company has adopted the SRP that enables stockholders to sell their stock to the Company in limited circumstances. The SRP was previously suspended as of January 19, 2019, due to the Company's then-pending Mergers with EA-1 and the EA-1 Operating Partnership. On June 12, 2019, the Board reinstated the SRP effective as of July 13, 2019. All classes of shares of the Company's common stock are eligible for redemption under the SRP.
Under the SRP, the Company will redeem shares as of the last business day of each quarter. The redemption price will be equal to the NAV per share for the applicable class generally on the 13th day of the month prior to quarter end. Redemption requests must be received by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable quarter. Redemption requests exceeding the quarterly cap will be filled on a pro rata basis. With respect to any pro rata treatment, redemption requests following the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder will be considered first, as a group, followed by requests where pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum balance of $2,500 of shares of the Company's common stock, which will be redeemed in full to the extent there are available funds, with any remaining available funds allocated pro rata among all other redemption requests. All unsatisfied redemption requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next quarter, or upon the recommencement of the SRP, as applicable.
There are several restrictions under the SRP. Stockholders generally have to hold their shares for one year before submitting their shares for redemption under the program; however, the Company will waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder. Shares issued pursuant to the DRP are not subject to the one-year holding period. In addition, the SRP generally imposes a quarterly cap on aggregate redemptions of the Company's shares equal to a value of up to 5% of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding shares as of the last business day of the previous quarter. As the value on the aggregate redemptions of the Company's shares is outside the Company's control, the 5% quarterly cap is considered to be temporary equity and is presented as the common stock subject to redemption on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019, the quarterly cap was approximately $37.4 million.

Company Offer
On May 6, 2019, the Company commenced a self-tender offer (the "Company Offer") for up to $100 million in shares of the Company’s Class A, Class AA, Class AAA, Class T, Class D, Class S, Class I and Class E shares, collectively, par value $0.001 per share, for cash at a purchase price equal to $9.56 per Class A, Class AA or Class AAA share, $9.66 per Class T share, $9.64 per Class D share, $9.65 per Class S share, $9.64 per Class I share, and $9.56 per Class E share. The Company Offer expired on Monday, June 10, 2019. At the conclusion of the Company Offer, the Company accepted for purchase 1,046,024 Class A shares, 2,060,669 Class AA shares, 23,879 Class AAA shares, and 7,217,570 Class E shares, properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Company Offer, at a purchase price equal to $9.56 per Class A, Class AA, Class AAA share and Class E share, for an aggregate purchase price of $98.9 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the Company Offer. No Class T shares, Class D shares, Class S shares, or Class I shares were tendered for purchase. The 1,046,024 Class A shares, 2,060,669 Class AA shares, 23,879 Class AAA shares, and 7,217,570 Class E shares represent 36.7%, 76.2%, 100.0%, and 28.2%, respectively, of all shares tendered for such share classes, and approximately 4.1% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the purchased date.
Employment Agreements With Executive Officers
In connection with the Mergers and Michael J. Escalante's appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company assumed, from EA-1, an employment agreement dated December 14, 2018, for Mr. Escalante to serve as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President (the “Escalante Employment Agreement”). The Escalante Employment Agreement has an initial term of five years and will automatically renew for additional one year periods thereafter, unless either the Company or Mr. Escalante provide advance written notice of its or his intent not to renew or unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms thereof.
The Company also assumed employment agreements entered into by EA-1 with each of Javier F. Bitar, Howard S. Hirsch, Louis K. Sohn and Scott Tausk. Each of such employment agreements (collectively, the “Other Employee Employment Agreements”) was entered into on December 14, 2018 and is substantially similar to the material terms of the Escalante Employment Agreement. The terms of the Escalante Employment Agreement and the Other Employee Employment Agreements are included in the Company's Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2019.
Issuance of Restricted Stock Units to Executive Officers
Pursuant to the terms of the Escalante Employment Agreement and the Other Employee Employment Agreements, on May 1, 2019, the Company entered into Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreements with each of Messrs. Escalante, Bitar, Hirsch, Sohn and Tausk for the issuance of each of their respective initial equity awards (collectively, the "Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements"), pursuant to which the Company issued restricted stock units to such executive officers under the Employee and Director Long-Term Incentive Plan in the following amounts (the "RSUs"): 732,218 RSUs to Mr. Escalante; 104,603 RSUs to Mr. Bitar; 67,992 RSUs to Mr. Hirsch; 52,301 RSUs to Mr. Sohn; and 52,301 RSUs to Mr. Tausk. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Class E Common Stock when settled in accordance with the terms of the respective Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and will vest in equal, 25% installments on each of December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, provided that such executive officer remains continuously employed by the Company on each such date, subject to certain accelerated vesting provisions as provided in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements. The shares of Class E Common Stock underlying the RSUs will not be delivered upon vesting, but instead will be deferred for delivery on May 1, 2023, or, if sooner, upon the executive officer's termination of employment.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a voluntary, contributory, nonqualified deferred compensation plan which, for each year, permits key employees to defer a percentage of their compensation. The retirement benefit to be provided under the plan is a function of the participant's deferred compensation and earnings thereupon. The plan is designed to primarily fund the retirement benefit liability through maintenance of certain investments, including participant cash deferrals. The liability to the deferred compensation plan participants as of June 30, 2019 was $8.6 million and is included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has certain investments, including corporate-owned life insurance policies ("COLI"), which had a market value that offset the participant liabilities.
