As of February 10, 2012, there were 553 shareholders of record and approximately 29,039 beneficial owners of our common shares.

In March 2010, we announced the creation of an at-the-market (“ATM”) share offering program through which we could, but had no obligation to, sell common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million (“2010 ATM program”), in amounts and at times as we determined, into the existing trading market at current market prices as well as through negotiated transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued approximately 4.9 million common shares at an average price of $48.37 per share for total net consideration of approximately $231.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued approximately 0.3 million common shares at an average price of $55.81 per share for total net consideration of approximately $13.8 million. The 2010 ATM program was terminated and no further common shares are available for sale under the 2010 ATM program.

In May 2011, we created a second ATM share offering program through which we can sell common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million (“2011 ATM program”) from time to time into the existing trading market at current market prices as well as through negotiated transactions. We may, but have no obligation to, sell common shares through the 2011 ATM share offering program in amounts and at times as we determine. Actual sales from time to time may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common shares, and determination of the appropriate sources of funding for us. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued approximately 1.5 million common shares at an average price of $62.98 per share for total net consideration of approximately $92.7 million. In January 2012, we issued approximately 0.1 million common shares at an average price of $62.41 per share for total net consideration of approximately $3.2 million. As of the date of this filing, we had common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $202.4 million remaining available for sale under the 2011 ATM program.

In January 2012, we issued approximately 6.6 million common shares in a public equity offering and received approximately $391.6 million in net proceeds. We utilized these proceeds to fund the acquisition of the 80% interest not owned by us in twelve related joint ventures for approximately $99.5 million and the repayment of approximately $272.6 million in mortgage debt associated with these joint ventures.

See Part III, Item 12, for a description of securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

In January 2008, our Board of Trust Managers approved an increase of the April 2007 repurchase plan to allow for the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common equity securities through open market purchases, block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. Under this program, we have repurchased 4.3 million shares for a total of approximately $230.2 million from April 2007 through December 31, 2011. The remaining dollar value of our common equity securities authorized to be repurchased under the program was approximately $269.8 million as of December 31, 2011. There were no repurchases of our equity securities during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
