Partners' Equity of the Operating Partnership

In August 2013, the Operating Partnership's operating agreement was amended to, among other things, effect a four-for-one split of the outstanding partnership units. After the effect of the split, each Class A common limited partnership unit held by Non-Company LPs may be exchanged for one common share of the Company. Prior to the split, each unit held by the Non-Company LPs was exchangeable for four common shares of the Company. All references to the number of units outstanding and per unit amounts reflect the effect of the split for all periods presented.

All units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership have equal rights with respect to earnings, dividends and net assets. When the Company issues common shares upon the exercise of options, the issuance of restricted share awards or the exchange of Class A common limited partnership units, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding Class B common limited partnership unit to Tanger LP trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Also, in August 2013 as disclosed in Note 3, the Operating Partnership issued 450,576 Class A common limited partnership units as partial consideration for the acquisition of an additional one-third interest in Deer Park.

The following table sets forth the changes in outstanding partnership units for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:
