5. Equity

During the first nine months of 2016, we issued 19,000 shares of our Class A common stock under our 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan to our independent directors, in lieu of cash compensation, for services rendered in 2016. We valued the shares issued to our independent directors at estimated fair value based on the closing price of our shares on the date the shares were issued, which by policy is the last trading day of each quarter in which the services were rendered.

 

During the first nine months of 2016, we issued 182,660 shares of our Class A common stock with net proceeds of $1.0 million in connection with option exercises. In June in conjunction with the Gaiam Brand business sale, we issued 50,000 shares of our Class A common stock as a charitable contribution to a local organization. We valued the shares at the closing market price of our shares on the date they were issued and recorded a charitable contribution expense of $0.4 million. On July 1, 2016, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Gaiam Brand business to conduct a tender offer resulting in the purchase of 9,636,848 shares of our Class A common stock and 842,114 stock options at a price of $7.75 per share. In connection with the Gaiam Brand business sale, employee stock options to purchase 189,610 shares received accelerated vesting and were repurchased in the tender offer.. Subsequent to the Gaiam Brand business sale options to purchase 194,610 shares were forfeited.

The following is a reconciliation from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 of the carrying amount of total equity, equity attributable to Gaia, Inc., and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
