10% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”)
Holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10.0% per annum of the $50.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $5.00 per annum per share). Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. Preferred Stock dividends were $1,974 and $5,921 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption. On or after May 30, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $50.00 per share in cash, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.
Following a change of control, as defined in the prospectus supplement, the Company will have the option to redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part for $50.00 per share in cash, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared), to the redemption date. If the Company does not exercise its option to redeem the Preferred Stock upon a change of control, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the option to convert the Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the value of the common stock on the date of the change of control as determined under the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock. If the change of control occurred on September 30, 2015, and the Company did not exercise its right to redeem the Preferred Stock, using the closing price of $7.29 as the value of a share of common stock, each share of Preferred Stock would be convertible into approximately 6.9 shares of common stock. If the Company exercises its redemption rights relating to shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described above.
Common Stock
On March 13, 2015, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock at $6.55 per share, before underwriting discounts, and the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional shares of common stock at $6.55 per share, before underwriting discounts. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $65,546, after the underwriting discounts and estimated offering costs.
