Noncontrolling Interests
    Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the interests in the Operating Partnership owned by Family Limited Partners as discussed in Note 1. Family Limited Partners are holders of Operating Partnership units that may be exchanged for the Company's common shares in a ratio of one unit for four common shares of the Company. The noncontrolling interests in other consolidated partnerships consist of outside equity interests in partnerships not wholly owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company and Operating Partnership because the Operating Partnership exercises control over the entities that own the properties.

As discussed in Note 11, various Family Limited Partners exchanged during 2012 a total of 1,682,507 Operating Partnership units for 6,730,028 common shares of the Company and during 2011 exchanged 160,332 Operating Partnership units for 641,328 common shares of the Company. Therefore, the Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital of $34.9 million during 2012 to reflect the transfer of ownership interests from a noncontrolling unit holder to a shareholder of the Company's common shares. The changes in the Company's ownership interests in the subsidiaries impacted consolidated equity during the periods shown as follows:
