Interest expense was $79.3 million for the first nine months of 2011, as compared to $68.1 million for the first nine months of 2010. The increase in interest expense from 2010 to 2011 was primarily due to an increase in borrowings attributable to the issuance of our $250 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes in June 2010, the $150 million re-opening of our 5.875% senior unsecured bonds due 2035 in June 2011 and higher credit facility commitment fees and origination costs as a result of our $425 million acquisition credit facility, which was entered into in December 2010.

We continue our 42-year policy of paying distributions monthly. Monthly distributions per share increased in April 2011 by $0.0003125 to $0.1445625, in July 2011 by $0.0003125 to $0.144875 and in October 2011 by $0.0003125 to $0.1451875. The increase in October 2011 was our 56th consecutive quarterly increase and the 63rd increase in the amount of our dividend since our listing on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, in 1994. In the first nine months of 2011, we paid three monthly cash distributions per share in the amount of $0.14425, three in the amount of $0.1445625 and three in the amount of $0.144875, totaling $1.3010625.
