On June 14, 2018, the Company entered into a continuous equity offering program (“Equity Program”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Jeffries LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (“SunTrust”), HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., BB&T Capital Markets, a division of BB&T Securities, LLC and BTIG, LLC, pursuant to which the Company may sell up to $300 million in aggregate offering price of shares of the Company’s common stock. Actual sales under this continuous equity offering program will depend on a variety of factors and conditions, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and determinations of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. The Company expects to offer, sell and issue shares of common stock under this equity program from time to time based on various factors and conditions, although the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares under this equity program.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 190,403 shares of common stock under the Equity Program at a weighted average issue price of $114.26 per share, generating net proceeds of $21.5 million after deducting $0.2 million of sales commissions paid to SunTrust, as well as other expenses of $0.1 million. The Company used such proceeds to fund a portion of the acquisition of the six storage facilities during the first quarter.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the Equity Program.

On August 2, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares (“Buyback Program”). The Buyback Program allows the Company to purchase shares of its common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or through other methods of acquiring shares. The Buyback Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company did not repurchase any outstanding common shares under the Buyback Program during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or during 2019.

In 2013, the Company implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan which was suspended by the Company’s Board of Directors in 2017. As a result, the Company did not issue any shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
