As a result, $0.3 million and $0.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to additional paid-in capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, in comparison to $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

The following table shows distributions that have been declared and paid since January 1, 2013:

While we intend to pay regular quarterly distributions, the actual declaration of such future distributions and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates, and payment dates are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors and dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements, and other factors. Based on the number of shares of Class A and Class B currently outstanding, and the currently approved distribution amount, we expect to pay total annual distributions of approximately $6.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2014.
