PREFERRED STOCK

NOTE 9.    PREFERRED STOCK

Prior to July 9, 2014, TCI had 30,000 shares of Series C cumulative convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding. These 30,000 shares were owned by RAI, a related party, and had accrued dividends unpaid of $0.9 million. The stock had a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share and could be converted into common stock at 90% of the daily average closing price of the common stock for the prior five trading days. On July 9, 2014, RAI converted all 30,000 shares into the requisite number of shares of common stock. The conversion resulted in the issuance of 304,298 new shares of common stock. The effects of the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are no longer included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation for the current period, but are considered in the calculation for the prior periods if applying the if-converted method is dilutive.

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 and requires dividends payable from the initial rate of 7% annually to the current rate of 9%. The shares can be redeemed at any point after September 30, 2011.  Of the 100,000 shares, 89,500 shares are owned by RAI, a related party, and 10,500 shares are owned by Pillar, a related party. RAI’s 89,500 shares have accrued dividends unpaid of approximately $4.0 million. Pillar’s 10,500 shares have accrued dividends unpaid of approximately $0.5 million.
