Dividends


In January 2011, we reinstated our current quarterly preferred dividend and paid current quarterly preferred dividends in January, May and August 2011. We are restricted from paying any common dividends unless and until all accrued and current preferred dividends are paid. Our Board of Directors will determine whether and when to declare future dividends (including the accrued but unpaid preferred dividends) based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operation trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.  We had $76.3 million of aggregate accrued dividends payable to holders of our Series A and Series C preferred stock at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
