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 Company common shares in a ratio of one unit for four Company common shares. 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.
