Non-Controlling Interests The Company had 369,176 and 1,412,366 OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These OP Units, issued to different partnerships, are exchangeable at the election of the OP Unit holder and, under certain circumstances at the option of the Company, into an equivalent number of the Company’s common shares or for the equivalent amount of cash. Most of these OP Units are subject to registration rights agreements covering shares equivalent to the number of OP Units held by the holder if the Company elects to settle in its common shares. The OP Units are classified on the Company’s balance sheet as Non-Controlling Interests. In 2014, the Company issued 1.0 million OP Units in conjunction with the purchase of an asset in Chicago, Illinois (Note 3). In 2015, these OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of common shares of the Company. This transaction was treated as a purchase of a non-controlling interest and a non-cash transaction. Preferred Shares The Company’s preferred shares outstanding are as follows (in thousands):

The Class J depositary shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to August 1, 2017, and the Class K depositary shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to April 9, 2018, except in certain circumstances relating to the preservation of the Company’s status as a REIT.
