The Company had 140,633 and 184,588 OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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, exchangeable 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 consolidated balance sheets as Non-Controlling Interests.
