The 2019 Series A Corporate Units were offered and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated June 11, 2019 (the “2019 Series A Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company and certain representatives on behalf of the underwriters named therein (the “2019 Series A Underwriters”).

Each 2019 Series A Corporate Unit has a stated amount of $100 and is comprised of (i) a purchase contract which will obligate the holder to purchase from the Company, no later than June 1, 2022, a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock, without par value, for $100 in cash, and (ii) a 1/10 undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of the 2019 Series A Corporate Units will be entitled to receive (i) quarterly dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at a rate of 1.75% per year on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) quarterly contract adjustment payments at a rate of 5.50% per year on the stated amount of $100 per equity unit.

The purchase contracts for the 2019 Series A Corporate Units are being issued pursuant to a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement dated as of June 14, 2019 (the “2019 Series A Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”), among the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as the purchase contract agent, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, in its capacity as the collateral agent, custodial agent and securities intermediary.

The Convertible Preferred Stock will be remarketed, subject to certain terms and conditions, prior to the related purchase contract settlement date pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Series A Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and a remarketing agreement to be entered into among the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as purchase contract agent, and a remarketing agent or agents to be designated by the Company (the “2019 Series A Remarketing Agreement”).
