8. Common Stock and Units

Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue up to 49,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive distributions when authorized by the Company’s board of directors out of assets legally available for the payment of distributions. On December 2, 2016, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at prevailing prices on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of management.  The Company has and expects to continue to use available working capital to fund purchases under the stock repurchase program and intends to complete the repurchase program prior to December 31, 2017, unless extended by the board of directors.  Through December 31, 2016 the Company repurchased 481,100 shares of common stock for approximately $3.2 million and the repurchased shares have been returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.  The Company did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program during the three months ended June 30, 2017.  Between January 3, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the ESOP purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $4.9 million.  Of the 682,500 ESOP shares purchased, 665,516 of these shares are considered unearned ESOP shares at June 30, 2017 and are excluded from the Company’s outstanding common stock on the consolidated balance sheets and the earnings per share calculations on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following is a schedule of issuances, since January 1, 2016, of the Company’s common stock and related units of the Operating Partnership:

On February 15, 2017, the Company was issued 12,000 units in the Operating Partnership and awarded 12,000 shares of restricted stock to its independent directors.

On February 2, 2016, the Company was issued 36,250 units in the Operating Partnership and awarded an aggregate of 22,000 shares of unrestricted stock to certain executives and employees as well as 12,000 shares of restricted stock and 2,250 shares of unrestricted stock to certain of its independent directors.

On February 1, 2016, two holders of units in the Operating Partnership redeemed 422,687 units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had 13,815,035 and 14,468,551 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

Operating Partnership Units – Holders of Operating Partnership units, other than the Company as general partner, have certain redemption rights, which enable them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their units in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the option of the Company, cash per unit equal to the average of the market price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the notice date of such redemption. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or the stockholders of the Company.

There were no issuances or redemptions, since January 1, 2016, of units in the Operating Partnership other than the redemptions and issuances of units in the Operating Partnership to the Company described above.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total number of Operating Partnership units outstanding was 16,258,691 and 16,246,691, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total number of outstanding Operating Partnership units not owned by the Company was 1,778,140 and 1,778,140, respectively, with a fair market value of approximately $12.1 million and $12.1 million, respectively, based on the price per share of the common stock on such respective dates.
