These dividends are treated as distributions in the following year for tax purposes.
We have an effective universal shelf registration statement registering the potential offer and sale, from time to time and in one or more offerings, of any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants and rights (collectively referred to as the “securities”). We may offer the securities directly, through agents, or to or through underwriters by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices and may include “at the market” (“ATM”) offerings or sales “at the market,” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise. We completed the following public offerings (including ATM issuances) of our common stock in 2017 and 2018:

Awards of Shares of Restricted Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units under our 2013 Plan
We have 5,135,043 awards authorized for issuance under our 2013 Plan. As of December 31, 2018, we have issued awards with service, performance and market conditions and have 1,829,609 awards remaining available for issuance. During the year ended December 31, 2018, our board of directors awarded employees and directors 630,234 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest from 2019 to 2023. As of December 31, 2018, as it relates to previously issued restricted stock awards with performance conditions, we have concluded that it is probable that the performance conditions will be met.
A summary of equity-based compensation expense and the fair value of shares vested on the vesting date for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 is as follows:
