For the period from the date of original issuance through March 31, 2015, the dividend rate is a variable rate per annum equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the Series A Community Reinvestment Act Perpetual Preferred Stock, or CRA Preferred Stock) plus 1.25%, calculated as of the beginning of each quarterly dividend period. The rate at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 1.50% and 1.61%, respectively.

All classes of preferred stock have a $0.01 per share par value, are pari passu with each other and are senior to our Common Stock. The holders of each class of preferred stock are generally not entitled to vote on matters submitted to stockholders. Dividends on all shares of preferred stock are subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. Our Class Z Preferred Stock and Series A Community Reinvestment Act Preferred Stock have liquidation preferences per share of $25.00 and $500,000, respectively.

During the year end December 31, 2012, Aimco redeemed 24.0 million shares of preferred stock with a weighted average dividend rate of 7.86% for $600.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, Aimco redeemed 0.9 million shares of preferred stock with a dividend rate of 8.00% for $21.6 million. In connection with these redemptions, the Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed from Aimco a number of Partnership Preferred Units equal to the number of shares redeemed by Aimco. In connection with these redemptions, we wrote off previously deferred issuance costs of $20.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, which is reflected as an adjustment of net income attributable to Aimco preferred stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred unitholders in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for such periods.
