NOTE 9.     PREFERRED STOCK

 

TCI issued 30,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. TCI’s Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock consists of a maximum of 30,000 shares with a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. Dividends are payable at the annual rate of $7.00 per share annually or $1.75 per quarter. After September 30, 2006, the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into Common stock at 90.0% of the daily average closing price of the common stock for the prior five trading days. The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at any time at the option of TCI. At December 31, 2012, 30,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

In November 2006, TCI issued 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $100 per share.  The preferred stock is not convertible into any other security, requires dividends payable at the initial rate of 7% annually. The dividend rate increases ratably from 7% to 9% in future periods and can be redeemed at any point after September 30, 2011.  In the fourth quarter, a preferred stockholder submitted a redemption request that is currently in dispute and we believe will be resolved in 2013 for no more than the $1,300,000 original preferred stock issuance.
