(collectively, the “Coliseum Stockholders”) and the Company, the remaining 524,116 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock were purchased by the Coliseum Stockholders at the $100.00 per share subscription price.

The Company may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of Preferred Stock, if and when declared by a committee of its Board of Directors (“Board”), at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. On or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, the Company must determine its intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and will give notice of its intention to each holder of Preferred Stock as soon as practicable thereafter.

In the event the Company does not declare and pay a cash dividend, the Company will declare a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) dividend by increasing the liquidation preference of the convertible Preferred Stock to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to the liquidation preference then in effect multiplied by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination.

All holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock are able to convert their Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at a rate of approximately 2.51 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2018, a total of 3,394 shares of Preferred Stock have been converted to 8,503 shares of Common Stock.

Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, and commenced on April 1, 2015, and, if declared, begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. PIK dividends, if applicable, accrue cumulatively on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and are also compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. Cash dividends on redeemable convertible preferred stock totaling $4,413, or $5.50 per share, $4,418, or $5.50 per share, and $4,419, or $5.50 per share, were distributed to convertible preferred stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Preferred Stock is accounted for outside of stockholders’ equity as it may be redeemed upon certain change in control events that are not solely in the control of the Company. Dividends are recorded in stockholders’ equity and consist of the 5.5%/8.5% dividend. Certain other provisions apply in certain change in control events.
