On May 9, 2020, our board of directors approved payment of our common stock dividend that was declared on March 17, 2020 in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Stockholders had the opportunity to elect payment of the dividend all in cash or all in common shares, subject to a limit of 10% or approximately $8.2 million of cash in the aggregate (excluding any cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares). On June 30, 2020, we paid the dividend through the issuance of 16,338,511 shares of common stock and the payment of approximately $8.2 million in cash. The number of shares included in the dividend was calculated based on the $4.5435 volume weighted average trading price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 17, 18 and 19, 2020.
