Note 5 – Stockholders’ Equity
 
Preferred Stock
 
General
 
The Company’s charter authorizes the issuance of 10,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 3,105 and no shares of preferred stock, respectively, issued and outstanding.
 
On September 15, 2017, the Company closed on the issuance of 3,105 shares of its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, with an initial liquidation preference of $25 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), inclusive of 405 shares issued in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for cash in whole or in part, from time to time, at any time on or after September 15, 2022, at a cash redemption price of $25 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except for limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six quarterly periods. The issuance resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $77,625. After deducting underwriting discounts and advisory fees of $2,445, and expenses paid by the Company that were directly attributable to the offering of $221 (which are both treated as a reduction of the “Preferred Stock” balance on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets), the Company’s preferred stock balance as of December 31, 2017 was $74,959. The net proceeds received from the transaction were primarily used to repay borrowings on the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. The Company assessed the characteristics of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 480 – “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is classified as permanent equity.

1Includes dividends on granted LTIP units and OP Units issued to third parties.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company paid total dividends on its common stock, LTIP units and OP Units in the amount of $15,231, consisting of the dividends declared for the fourth quarter of 2016 through the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company paid total dividends on its common stock in the amount of $3,878, and during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid total dividends on its common stock in the amount of $256.
 
As of December 31, 2017, the Company accrued $117 for dividends payable on the aggregate annual and long-term LTIP units that are subject to retroactive receipt of dividends on the amount of LTIPs ultimately earned. See Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation for additional information.
 
The amount of the dividends paid to the Company’s stockholders is determined by our Board and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, the Company’s financial condition and capital expenditure requirements except that, in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and Maryland law, the Company may not make dividend distributions that would: (i) cause it to be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (ii) cause its total assets to be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences; or (iii) jeopardize its ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT.

After deducting underwriting discounts and advisory fees of $1,987, and expenses paid by the Company that were directly attributable to the offering of $443 (both of which are treated as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital balance), the Company received net proceeds from the transactions of $33,795.

In order to help the Company qualify as a REIT, among other purposes, the Company’s charter, subject to certain exceptions, restricts the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that a person may beneficially or constructively own. The Company’s charter provides that, subject to certain exceptions, no person may beneficially or constructively own more than 9.8%, in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock. On June 27, 2016, the Board approved a waiver of the 9.8% ownership limit in the Company’s charter allowing ZH USA, LLC to own up to 16.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
