NOTE 18. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. As a result, $1.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.8 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to additional paid-in capital for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 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 and legal requirements, and other factors. Any future distributions are likely to be comparable to prior declarations unless there are changes in expected future earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements. The following table shows distributions that have been declared and paid since January 1, 2016:
Based on the number of shares of Class A and Class B currently outstanding, we expect to pay total annual distributions of approximately $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. |
