The Company designated 2,000,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series A, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”). In connection with the Equity Investment, the Company issued 125,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate amount of $125.0 million. Net proceeds to the Company were $110.7 million, after deducting $14.3 million in fees. No other shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issuable in the future, except for such shares as may be issued as dividends in lieu of any cash dividends in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to all common stock and each series of stock the Company may subsequently designate with respect to dividends, redemption and distributions upon liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company.

The Series A Preferred Stock has a perpetual term, a liquidation value equal to the amount invested therein plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, and dividend rights as described below. The Series A Preferred Stock generally does not have voting rights, except with respect to any amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Charter that would adversely affect the rights, privileges or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock. Although the shares of Series A Preferred Stock include a mandatory redemption feature, there is no stated or probable date of redemption.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive mandatory and cumulative dividends in an amount per annum equal to the dividend rate (described below) multiplied by the liquidation value, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, from the date of issuance, whether or not declared and whether or not the Company reports net income. The dividends are payable in arrears in cash, except that, at the option of the Company, up to 50.0% of the dividends for any period may be paid through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock is in preference and prior to any dividends payable on any class of the Company’s common stock.

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company (as defined in the certificate of designations relating to the Series A preferred stock agreement), whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders thereof at the time shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions with respect to each share of Series A preferred stock in an amount equal to the amount invested therein plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, and dividend rights to the fullest extent permitted by law, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of our common stock.

Additionally, upon receipt by the Company of net cash proceeds from (i) the issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of debt for borrowed money or (ii) the issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of equity, the Company shall redeem, for cash, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that number of shares of Series A preferred stock with an aggregate redemption price equal to the lesser of (1) an amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds and (2) the $125.0 million aggregate par value of the Series A preferred stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.
