25 REDEEMABLE CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK
On May 13, 2013, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to create an unlimited number of zero par value class A preferred shares. The Company's Board of Directors will have the ability to fix the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of each series of preferred shares. The preferred shares will have priority over the common shares.
There were 222,876 shares of Class A preferred stock ("Preferred Shares") outstanding at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Each Preferred Share is convertible into 6.25 common shares at a conversion price of $4.00 per common share any time at the option of the holder prior to April 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2018, the maximum number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares is 1,392,975 common shares.
During 2017, 40,000 Preferred Shares were converted into 250,000 common shares at the conversion price of $4.00 per common share, or $1.0 million, at the option of the holders. As a result, $1.0 million was reclassified from Class A preferred stock to Shareholders' Equity on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017.
The Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote. The holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to receive fixed, cumulative, preferential cash dividends at a rate of $1.25 per Preferred Share per year. The cash dividend rate shall be revised to $1.875 per Preferred Share per year if the dividend accumulates for a period greater than 30 consecutive months from the date of the most recent dividend payment. On and after February 3, 2016, the Company may redeem all or any part of the then outstanding Preferred Shares for the price of $28.75 per Preferred Share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, up to and including the date specified for redemption. The Company will redeem any Preferred Shares not previously converted into common shares, and which remain outstanding on April 1, 2021, for the price of $25.00 per Preferred Share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, up to and including the date specified for redemption. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accrued dividends of $1.7 million and $1.6 million were included in Class A preferred stock in the consolidated balance sheets. The redemption amount of the Preferred Shares as if they were currently redeemable was $7.3 million and $7.2 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, redemption features not solely within the control of the issuer are required to be presented outside of permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheets. As described above, the holder has the option to convert the Preferred Shares at any time; however, if not converted, they are required to be redeemed on April 1, 2021. As such, the Preferred Shares are presented in temporary or mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheets and will be accreted, using the interest method, up to the stated redemption value of $5.6 million, through additional paid-in capital as a deemed dividend, from the date of issuance through the April 1, 2021 redemption date. The Company also accrues dividends through additional paid-in-capital at the stated coupon, which the Company expects will total $2.6 million as of the April 1, 2021 redemption date.  As a result, the total redemption amount of the Preferred Shares as of the redemption date if the Preferred Shares are not converted is expected to be $8.2 million.
