(1)Includes dividends on granted LTIP units and OP Units issued to third parties.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid total dividends on its common stock, LTIP units and OP Units in the amount of $4,552 and $3,604, respectively.
   
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company accrued $165 and $116 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.
OP Units
 
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were 1,246 OP Units issued and held by third parties with an aggregate value of $11,532. These OP Units were primarily issued in connection with the acquisition of two separate facilities during the year ended December 31, 2017.
