Preferred Stock Rights Perpetual Preferred Stock
Holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as, and if, authorized by the Company’s board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the Company’s board of directors) and declared by the Company out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, preferential cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum of the liquidation preference of $10.00 per share. Dividends are payable quarterly, in arrears, by the last calendar day of March, June, September and December to holders of record at the close of business on the first day of each payment month. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible and does not have any voting rights, except when dividends are in arrears for six or more consecutive quarters, then the holders of those shares together with holders of all other series of preferred stock equal in rank would be entitled to vote separately as a class for the election of two additional directors to board of directors, until all dividends accumulated on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the past dividend periods and the dividend for the current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a change of control, subject to certain conditions. The Company may also voluntarily redeem some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock on or after September 10, 2024.
On February 16, 2024, our board of directors declared a cash dividend to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $0.5 million. The record date for this dividend payment was March 1, 2024 and the payment date was March 11, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we are current on our preferred dividend payments.
Preferred Stock Rights
On June 2, 2021, the board of directors adopted a tax benefit preservation plan in the form of a Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “382 Agreement”). The 382 Agreement is intended to diminish the risk that our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future federal income tax obligations may become substantially limited due to an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The board of directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2021. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at an exercise price of $12.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.
The rights will become exercisable following (i) 10 days after a public announcement that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person (as defined in the 382 Agreement); and (ii) 10 business days (or a later date determined by the board of directors) after a person or group begins a tender or an exchange offer that, if completed, would result in that person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.
In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, the exercise price of the rights would be adjusted and holders of the rights (other than rights owned by an acquiring person or group) would be entitled to purchase common stock at approximately half of market value. Given the potential adjustment of the exercise price of the rights, the rights could cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 4.99% or more of common stock on terms not approved by the board of directors.
No rights were exercisable at March 31, 2024. There is no impact to financial results as a result of the adoption of the 382 Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
